Saint Patrick Youth Group meets most Sunday evenings during the school year and is divided into two parts.
The Youth Center is open from 5:00 to 7:30 and is a place for the youth to come and hang out with friends, talk, share, and play games and music in a supervised Christian environment.
Youth Group begins at 6:00 with social time for the youth to spend with friends followed by the Junior and Senior groups separating for the week’s lesson.
Youth Group also meets as part of Wednesday Evening Religious Education
from 7:00 to 8:30 for the youth whose families attend the Wednesday program. Youth who attend on Wednesday and are preparing for Confirmation should also attend Sunday Youth Group. (See Sacrament information).
