It is essential to be in community with those who can walk alongside and encourage you on the difficult journey of life and faith, to grow in virtue, and to become who God's calling you to be!

As St. Francis de Sales encouraged:

"have friendship with those capable of communicating virtuous things to you. The more exquisite the virtue you put in your exchange the more perfect will your friendship be...It will be excellent because it comes from God, excellent because it tends to God, excellent because its bond is God, excellent because it will last eternally in God."  (St. Francis de Sales, Introduction to the Devout Life, Part 3, Chapter 19, "Of Real Friendship")

We hope to build and encourage just that kind of community for high schoolers at St. Paul's and beyond!

One way we're working to build this community is through combined youth ministry events with other churches throughout the year. As part of this effort, we ask for any high schooler who has or plans to participate in any ministry opportunity this year to have a completed registration form. There is no fee whatsoever, but this form provides us the information we need to best be prepared for and communicate about events, while also ensuring all diocesan youth safety protocols are followed.
