Our Youth Group supports the youth (12-18 yrs) in our church. We are called together to hang out, play, laugh, pray, learn, and come to a deeper relationship with Christ, with our neighbor, and with oursevles. Our weekly gatherings are Saturdays 11am-12:30pm in the Youth Room.
Our Confirmation preparation program is integrated into our Youth Group. Our gatherings give an opportunity to show the commitment to their faith. The youth learn and experience how to deepen their relationship with Jesus Christ, his Church, and community.
Core Team
The Core Team consists of young adults who desire to engage young people in the life and mission of the Church. We are called to be a guide for the youth by accompanying them through various ways to embrace and grow as disciples of Christ. Our weekly meetings are Sundays after the 12pm Mass.
Quinceaneras
Young girls celebrate their 15th birthday giving thanks to God for the gift of their lives, faith and family. The mexican tradition is that they come to church to thank God as a family and then have a big fiesta with friends and family. The church encourages and supports this beautiful tradition and offers them the opportunity to offer to God prayers of thanksgiving.
St Peter Catholic Church's guidelines for quinceaners are:
The family must be registered in our parish and be an active member of the church
The girl must be part of the youth group for at least a year
The girl must be part of one of the many ministries (volunteer) of the church
It is highly encouraged that the girl is fully initiated in the church (first communion and confirmation)
The celebration of quinceaneras is in group twice a year:
Saturday May 21, 2022 and Saturday September 17, 2022
