Our youth programs help young people meet the challenges of their lives in a manner that promotes health and wholeness, self-respect and respect of others. During the program year, September through May, the youth group meets from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. on Sunday mornings. During this time, youth hang out with youth minister J.J. Engelbert and cathedral clergy for fun, friendship and spiritual growth. Of course, lunch is served. For those youth who are earlier risers, there is a class at 9:00 a.m. where junior and senior high youth (grades 7-12) can talk about the Bible, faith and teen issues.

Besides these Sunday gatherings, we also plan special activities for fun or service. Check out the opportunities below.

Opportunities for Youth

Rafting Trip: We have re-scheduled our whitewater rafting trip on the lower New River in West Virginia to July 31-August 1. We will drive over on Friday, sleep, raft, drive back on Saturday. It will be a whirlwind adventure of wet and wild fun! Youth ages 14-18 are welcome to bring friends. The cost will be $125 per person, including a $25 deposit due by Sunday, July 12. Financial assistance is available.

For details on either of these programs, contact youth minister, J.J. Engelbert.
