Welcome to the Immaculate Conception Youth Group Page

Welcome to Immaculate Conceptions Youth Ministry Page. The goal of Youth Ministry is to help nurture the faith of youth and help them discover how to apply it to their everyday lives.

Youth Group is divided into two age groups, Jr. High (6th - 8th grade) and Sr. High (9th-12th grade). Groups meet on Sunday?s (with some exceptions) in room 201 at Immaculate Conception School. Both groups meet from 11:45 a.m. - 1:15 p.m. on a rotating schedule, meaning the Jr. High will meet at that time one week and the Sr. High will meet the next week. Each group is a unique experience that blends funny games, food, music, and prayer. There are scheduled service opportunities for teens to give back to their community. There are also scheduled social gatherings, which include skiing, movies, concerts and Christian festivals. Our next youth group is a Junior High group on Sunday, February 3rd 2008 from 11:45 a.m. - 1:15 p.m. See you there!

We really encourage teens to take advantage of retreat opportunities like Diocesan Youth Retreats, The Diocesan Youth Convention, The Junior High Youth Rally, The Rock Retreat and The River Retreat. These are great opportunities for teens to break away from their hectic routines and take time for strengthening their relationship with Jesus Christ.
