MENS TALKS
The phrase “dark night of the soul” is thrown around quite a bit in Catholic circles, but what does it mean exactly? In this video, Fr. Mike Schmitz explains precisely what is happening in our souls when we feel this kind of spiritual darkness, and he encourages us to hang in there when it happens; because it means God is preparing our souls for much greater things.

The goal of this ministry is to support and lead teenagers and their families into a personal encounter with Jesus and His Church. Aiming to build a dynamic, fun and welcoming environment for all teenagers, St.THSYG will be a place for teenagers to ask questions about the faith, build community, participate in social events, discuss relatable issues, attend service projects, retreats and many other activities. The Youth Ministers and Core Team will strive to meet the youth where they are in their faith journey and encourage growth. St.THSYG will meet Sunday nights during the school year after the 5:30pm Mass.

Come and join us for fellowship, fun and games.
