We are so happy you have chosen St. Frances of Rome to help you continue to grow the faith of your child and entire family! We dream of a parish full of families that know Jesus, have received their sacraments, pray together often, attend mass weekly, and are active in our parish community. We know that growth in our faith has to exist outside of sacramental preparation processes so we offer Youth Ministry groups for Middle ​and High School Youth.

A full calendar of Youth Ministry events will be posted on our Instagram @sfryouthministry every month as well as on the Parish Website.

**Please keep in mind, these ministries are not meant to prepare the child for any sacramental prep. If your child is in need of receiving sacraments such as Baptism, First Holy Communion, or Confirmation please talk to the coordinator directly. 

Our Middle School Ministry is a non sacramental faith building group open to all 6th- 8th graders in the area! We know middle school can be one of the hardest chapters of a young persons life and we want to be part of it. We are here as a youth ministry to create a safe space for our middle schoolers to have a place to tackle life's toughest questions, learn about including their faith in their daily lives and build a community as the young church. Using catechetical teachings as well as games, activities, and faith sharing, our youth are encouraged to embrace God and their Catholic faith, and are more prepared for entering high school as well as Confirmation in 9th grade.

Middle School Ministry meets weekly on Monday Afternoons in the Youth Room (506 N Soldano Ave) from 3:30-5:00pm

Our High School Ministry is a faith building group open to all 9th-12th graders in the area! One does not have to be enrolled in confirmation in order to participate in these gatherings. Our High School Ministry has one goal: to help teens encounter and build a relationship with Jesus. High School Ministry is a place for high school teens to tackle life's toughest questions, learn about including their faith in their daily lives and build a community as the young church. Using catechetical teachings as well as games, activities, and faith sharing, our youth are encouraged to embrace God and their Catholic faith, and are more prepared for entering college / life after high school. 

High School Ministry has regularly scheduled events throughout the year that are communicated via email, text, social media (@sfryouthministry), online, and in the parish bulletin.
