Youth & Young Adults
Our 5 p.m. Sunday mass is focused on the youth & young adult population. Everyone in the middle school and confirmation programs, as part of their studies, is asked to take an active role in the Mass as ushers, greeters, giftbearers, and lectors. Any confirmed young adult or teen may be commissioned to serve as an Extraordinary Minister of Holy Communion.
