MIDDLE SCHOOL YOUTH MINISTRY (6th through 8th Grades):
Fall Fest: This is a great tradition that happens every year! We meet for pizza and then head to Heidi’s Farmstand for the corn maze. Check out our PAGE for more information!
Shine Rally: The diocesan-wide Shine Rally has been around since 1996. Deacon Ken Baldwin had a desire to create an event that appealed to middle school students and drew their attention to Jesus. It is an awesome day of speakers, music, games, skits, food, and faith. Contact Sue for more details, and check out Shine Rally FB Page and the Shine Rally website.
Shine Rally date: March 26
Movie Retreats: These are a great way to get deeper in your faith but have a great time doing it. We watch 1 movie based on the retreat theme and then have brief discussions following. We play games, hang out and eat snacks. It is a very laid back night. This is open to all 6th through 8th grade students. There will be a series of these throughout the year. Register here!
Movie Retreat Date: Friday, December 9 from 6-10PM.

They are filled with lots of different activities from talks to games to skits. They are incredibly fun and as Sue has said numerous times “I am terrible at describing this great weekend without making it sound incredibly lame.” Contact Sue for more details or find out more HERE!
