Junior High 6^th through 8^th Grade

The Junior High program will be meeting from 7:00 p.m. - 8:30 p.m. in the Outback. We will be meeting at this time on Wednesdays unless otherwise posted. Filled with great games and exciting activities this program helps the youth learn about all the words of our precious faith that a great deal of us have trouble understanding.

High School 9th through 12th Grade

The High School Program is centered on the LifeTeen program beginning with a LifeTeen Mass every Sunday at 5:30 p.m. The Mass is high energy with youth music and youth involvement. The LifeTeen Youth Nights usually follow the Mass in the Outback, the building behind the Church. We will be meeting at this time on Sundays unless otherwise posted. Our High School youth are also invited to participate in many retreats and off site opportunities to worship and pray with other teens.

Confirmation ages 15 through 18

Confirmation preparation will be offered for youth ages 16 through high school graduation during the year. The time and place of these meetings is to be determined. Confirmation preparation is a very dialogue driven kind of ministry. Youth preparing to embrace our Lord's gifts of the Holy Spirit have a great deal of questions and concerns. The Confirmation program at St. Andrew Parish aims to learn about our religion, but also to inquire into the depths of our own faith so that we may grow in our journey to adult Christian living. If you have any questions about our Confirmation program please feel free to call our Youth Ministry Office at 253-863-4300.

Young Adults Ages 19 and Older

The young adult group at St. Andrew Parish is a collection of people aimed at developing and growing in their understanding of faith in an ever changing, ever growing world. We meet once a month to share a meal and socialize on upcoming or past events. Young Adult group finds itself involved in community service, social justice, youth formation needs, and pastoral assistance. It is an incredible experience filled with energy and willingness to welcome any new and inquiring minds.

Youth Retreats

There are retreats and archdiocesan youth gatherings throughout the year. Everybody will have an opportunity to spend some intimate spiritual time with his or her group on at least one given weekend. Dates and more details concerning all of these retreats will be given as needed.
