Who We Are

The high school youth ministry (HSM) is a program for students in grades 9 - 12^th. It helps lead teens into a deeper relationship with Jesus Christ and the Catholic Church. It is a Catholic-centered, faith formation ministry for all high school teens. The goal of HSM is for each child to encounter Christ, make lasting friendships, and grow in the life of the Church.

One of the most important characteristics of our program is our adult volunteers who assist as mentors for our teens. The HSM Core Team is made up of volunteer adult role models who lead small community groups, teach, and listen to teens. These team members focus on relational ministry or building relationships with the teens. Our primary objective is to encourage teens to realize a deeper relationship with Christ and to challenge them to live their faith as they carry out their daily lives.

Teens experience this sharing in an atmosphere of love and acceptance from their peers, adult leaders, parish priests, and youth ministry director who are there to assist them in their journey.

Did You Know

For over 20 years St. Vincent’s Youth Ministry (HSM) has been leading high school aged teens closer to Jesus Christ through His Church. 

Our heavenly Father has truly blessed us by calling so many former High School participants to courageously embrace their respective vocations (10+ diocesan priests, 15+ seminarians, 5+ consecrated religious, and countless faithful married couples).

Ultimately, this ministry shares in the universal mission of the Church to form saints, and in the particular mission of St Vincent’s, to form our kids into saints!
