High School Youth Ministry
-
The goal of St. Mark Youth Ministry is to bring the youth into a closer relationship with Jesus Christ. One of the ways we do this is through our Lifeteen mass at 4pm on Sundays. During this mass we invite all of the high schoolers to sit together with us at the front.
In additon we offer weekly faith formation during the school year. Throughout the year we also offer socials, service projects, reteterats, and much more!
Faith Formation Opportunites:
Lifeteen (HS) meet Sundays after the 4pm mass and follow a Gather-Proclaim-Break-Send model which begins with a large group for fellowship and catechesis before breaking into small groups and concluding with reflection and prayer.
Bob & Wow (HS) is open to those unable to attend Sundays as well as those who attend Sunday and desire more. Bob & Wow and Cliff take place in a more informal environment that provide an open space for the youth to bring topics that they are interested and pertain to the faith challenges/questions they may be facing. This can range from apologetics to a faith sharing but usually are a mix of both.Scroll down to check out our Upcoming Events

Why a Meal?
There is something to be said about the intimacy of sharing a meal with someone. Jesus was constantly sharing meals with his disciples. It was often through breaking of bread that Jesus evangelized and grew in relationship with his disciples. The reason The Eucharist is referred to as Communion is because it unites us together a body and people of God.
St. Mark is blessed to cover a wide geographical region of parishioners. Our youth come from as many as five sepereate school districts. For many of our teens, Sunday night is the only time they are able to see thier friends. This meal time allows them a brief 30-40 minutes to socialize and hear about each others week. It is a time of reprieve from their busy schedules where they can relax and enjoy the company of their peers. By providing for their physical needs we are able to provide for their spiritual needs.

What are the Commitments?
Life Teen has four meal teams composed of roughly 20 parents per team. Each team provides one meal every month for 100-150 teens. Meals are organized by the Meal Team Leaders and delegate the meal responsibilites to the rest of the team. Some responsibilies can include cooking a main dish, providing a side dish, providing a dessert or helping serve the meal on Sunday night.
Since we are blessed with many teens, the church cannot cover the cost of providing a meal every week. Therefore, the meals are parent funded but each meal team is large to keep the cost per parent low. For parents who may be unable to commit to cooking or serving a meal we ask that you make a $10 donation each time your meal team serves to help cover the cost of the meal that week.
We ask that parents who have a teen(s) in Life Teen sign up for a meal team.
