Helping Teens Develop a Lifelong Vocation of Faith

We invite young people into responsible participation in the life, work and mission of the Church. This ministry is truly dedicated to our young people, and we believe it's a blessing for the entire faith community.

Our St Philip Youth Ministry is a family of young Catholics committed to the goal of living out the call of the Gospels. Through fellowship, prayer, and service, we assist our youth in becoming the young men and women God created them to be. Our young people strive to know Christ deeply, understand his constant love for them, and share that love with those around them. 

Middle School Youth Ministry

Our 6^th – 8^th grade students participate in archdiocesan gatherings as well as our local parish service projects, retreats and special events. Activties are communicated to the students via  e-mail, flyers, and the Spirit and Truth Sunday bulletin.

 High School Youth Group

Our 9th - 12th grade students meet monthly for afternoons or evenings of fun, faith and fellowship.  Pizza is provided as we discuss up-coming events and learn to actively live our faith.   In addition, the group participates in monthly service and faith-building outings where they actively witness the corporal and spiritual Works of Mercy.  Every summer our youth attends the Archdiocesan Youth Conference in Houston.
