Youth Ministry Activities take place during the Religious Education Year. They typically take place on a Sunday Night from 6:30 - 8:00 pm in Atonement Hall.

If you want further information about Youth Ministry Activities or want to propose a Youth Ministry Activity, please contact Jay Cuasay, Director of Christian Formation 703.430.0811 ext. 130 or email him.
 

Youth Ministry Activities supplement and enhance Sunday High School Faith Formation. These activities are normally held on Sundays from 6:30 PM to 8:00 PM about once a month. This gives the High School students and opportunity to meet together outside of Religious Education classes and to take leadership roles in planning events with their peers in parish ministry.

Parents/Adults are needed from the parish to provide important points of meaningful contact with our Parish Youth. One way is for parents and adults to come forward and help out at upcoming Youth Ministry Activities. Previous years events are listed below.

Material support by way of drinks/snack and paper goods is always welcome. But even more important is your presence and involvement in these periodic events.

Contact Jay Cuasay at 703-430-0811 ext. 130 or email him to help out.

Plans are shaping up for this year's Youth Ministry Activities, but we could use more parish adult support. We need help planning and staffing events for 2016 (4 Events) and 2017 (7 Events)
Please consider:

• Contacting Jay Cuasay to offer your help, interest and ideas
• Inviting your own youth or spreading the word to others about our events.

Our Current Calendar includes Kick-Off events, our annual trips to Emmitsburg (Grotto at Mt. St. Mary's and Shrine to Elizabeth Ann Seton) and Washington DC ( Shrine of the Immaculate Conception and Franciscan Monastery of the Holy Land), as well as Thanksgiving, Advent and Lenten themed celebrations.

Special Thanks to our Sunday Catechists, Volunteers, and members of the Youth Ministry Planning Committee for offering this parish ministry:

Karen Arnst, Carol Catulle, Fe Fernandes, Juanita Lee, Cecille Macalalad, Manny Macalalad, Sonia Ketchoyian, Ed Myers, Kevin Terry, Courtney VanNuys
