Our high school youth program is more than Confirmation Preparation. Teens are invited to go beyond the classroom by engaging in topics and questions that are relevant to what they are facing. At Santa Cruz, our teens are invited to take an active leadership role in our community.
Youth Group
We have many retreats and events that are open to all high school students, including the Diocesan Catholic Youth Conference (DCYC), Steubenville Conference, Parish Events, Summer Service Week, and so much more.
Social Event
The following are events that are coming up for you to join:.
Y Disciple
Any High School Student is invited to explore their faith deeper through group conversations. These small groups are great ways to stay connected with the faith community. Registration is open year round.
Quinceanera
The Quinceañera Mass is offered monthly at group celebration with up to four (4) participants. Due to the parish schedule, individual Quinceañera Masses or Blessings are not celebrated at Santa Cruz. Please contact the Religious Education Office no earlier than six months in advance. Plans should not be finalized until the family meets with the Director of Religious Education.
Girls who wish to have their Quinceañera at Santa Cruz must have received First Communion or be currently enrolled in Religious Education Classes at least six (6) months before the Quinceañera. If already confirmed, she must continue to participate in the youth group. A quinceañera workshop is also required. For more information, call the Religious Education Office.
