Youth Ministry (Junior High & High School)

St. Ignatius Youth Ministry partners with Life Teen to Lead Teens Closer to Christ.

EDGE Junior High and Life Teen High School ministries meet in the ‘UpperRoom’ of the Gonzaga building on Sundays before and after the 5:15 PM parish Mass.


EDGE (Junior High, Grades 6-8): Sundays 3:30 PM - 5 PM

Life Teen Mass on Sunday at 5:15 PM

Life Teen (High School, Grades 9-12): Sundays 6:30 PM - 8:30 PM


Both groups follow the Gather, Proclaim, Break, Send youth group model that Life Teen has developed over the years based on the structure of our beautiful Holy Catholic Mass.


  • Gather: Welcome teens with snacks or dinner, an icebreaker game, & Opening Prayer.
  • Proclaim: The main faith or culture topic of the day (ex: sacraments, friendship, etc).
  • Break: Small group prayer and discussion with trained adult co-leaders.
  • Send: Closing Prayer and empowerment to go out as missionary disciples.


Mission
