The mission of St. Francis Youth Group is to draw teenage parishioners closer to Christ, growing in knowledge and understanding of the Catholic Church. We pursue this while also sharing in fun social activities and serving others, growing in community together.
Our High School Youth Group (9th-12thgrade) meets on specified Sundays twice a month from 6:00 - 8:00 p.m. At these meetings we gather in social fellowship as well as close personal discussions on our life in faith. On the third (3rd) Sunday of every month our high school group volunteers at the Open Door Soup Kitchen in Norwalk, feeding those in need. Throughout the year we also have opportunities to attend conferences and events with other Youth Groups in the Diocese.
Our Junior High School Group (6th-8thgrade) meets on specified Fridays once a month from 6:30 - 8:30 p.m. These events range from our annual trip to Lake Compounce’s Haunted Graveyard, movie nights, and our End of the Year Outdoor Games Kick-off Party. Service opportunities are also available when we visit the Notre Dame Health and Rehabilitation Center in Norwalk.
The Youth Center is the room off the Parish Hall entrance (formerly the Grace Shop).
Downloadable Permission Slip is accessible in the Documents menu to the left.
Our young people are an integral and important part of our parish community. We invite you to find out more about our Youth Group and encourage participation. Can't make every meeting? We welcome you at any time or event.
