Welcome to Monday night Youth Group! If you’re new to our program, Youth Ministry has several components – Monday night Youth Group meetings, evening and weekend activities that include social, service, and spiritual events, service to the parish, and seasonal events. Teens can be involved in as much or as little of our offerings as they choose. You do not have to come to Youth Group every Monday night in order to attend our other events - although we’d love to see you as often as you can come! Every Monday night we send home an update with information about upcoming events, but if you miss a Monday, this info is published at stcolette.net under Youth Ministry Announcements.
Upcoming Events & Due Dates:
Tuesday, Sept. 28 – Speaking to Confirmation Group (9th graders) – a few of our teens are stopping in at this year’s confirmation group meeting to talk for a few minutes about getting involved in Youth Ministry. Anyone who’d like to share some experiences in youth ministry can come join them – meet in the Activities Center at 7pm.
Thursday, Sept. 30 – Middle School Youth Group – if you have a sibling in 7th or 8th grade, they are welcome to join us from 6:30-8pm! The format is similar to our high school group and is very interactive. Contact Mary Jo if you have any questions.
Friday, Oct. 10 – WAYMC Tailgate Party – 2-4pm at St. Edith. We will be gathering with teens from other area parishes for an outdoor tailgate party! There will be snacks and drinks plus tons of games – cornhole, fowling, badminton, volleyball, ladderball, giant jenga, and more. There is no cost, but bring a lawn chair or blanket to sit on. You are encouraged to wear your favorite team jersey or colors! You need to provide your own transportation to St. Edith (on Newburgh just south of 5 Mile). Permission slips are due on Wednesday, Oct. 6.
Friday, Oct. 29 – WAYMC Fall Extravaganza at Three Cedars Farm – 6:15-10:30pm. We host a gathering of teens from all over our area at Three Cedars for some fall fun, including a bonfire with s’mores, hayride, corn maze, cider & donuts, and more. The cost is $13 per person and permission slips are due on Monday, Oct. 25.
Friday-Sunday, Nov. 5-7 – Fall Retreat at Faholo Retreat Center in Grass Lake. We will be going on our annual weekend retreat in November. This weekend is full of fun activities, group sharing, and reflection time, plus lots of free time to relax. With COVID continuing to change over time, it is possible that this retreat will change from an overnight event to a one-day, Saturday event. We’ll see what conditions are like when the trip gets closer, but either way it will be a great chance to get away. The cost is $60 for the weekend which includes meals and permission slips are due on Monday, Oct. 18.
