Ignite High School Ministry Launch Party: Color Wars!

Join us on August 30 from 6:00-8:00 pm at the Pavilion for the launch of our high school youth ministry! All parish high school teens and their friends are invited for an evening of fun, friendship, and friendly competition.

This year's theme is Color Wars! Teens will form teams and compete in a variety of exciting challenges. Be sure to wear a white T-shirt and clothes you don't mind getting messy, as we'll be celebrating with colorful powder throughout the night.

Bring a friend and get ready for an unforgettable kickoff to the year!

Saint John Neumann uses a hybrid model for high school youth ministry that combines both small group and large group experiences. Please review the descriptions below and complete the Interest Form AND Registration Form to let us know how you’d like to get involved.

Small Groups

We utilize small group gatherings (called Teen Life Groups) to help our teens on the path of discipleship. Each small group consists of 5-7 teens and 1-2 adult facilitators. Each group's content and format is tailored to the spiritual needs of the group members. Interested teens can either be placed in an existing group or can bring their friends to start a new group. Many of the groups meet twice a month from 6:00 – 8:00 pm on Sunday evenings although meeting times are flexible. If you aren’t part of a small group yet, you are encouraged to attend one of these “Teen Life Group Nights” to learn more. Please see the calendar below for Teen Life Group Night dates.

Most Teen Life Groups will be meeting from 6-8 PM in the Faith and Family Center on the following dates:

Large Group Events

The monthly large group events are meant to give our high schoolers an opportunity to participate in fellowship, worship, and service. This is a great way to get to know other teens in the parish, make connections, and have some fun.

This night includes many fun activities to help us grow in fellowship with our sisters or brothers in Christ. Dinner is provided and friends are welcome!

Large Group Gatherings are from 6-8 PM in the Faith and Family Center on the following dates:
