High School Youth Ministry
The Mission of the St. Alban Roe Youth Ministry programs is to create an environment leading youth to develop spiritually, emotionally, and socially. With a focus on knowledge, worship, community, and service, the youth ministry programs foster continued growth and Christian values as they apply to daily life. The youth are invited to be active participants in the St. Alban Roe community, and their presence is welcome at any time at youth ministry functions. All meetings are formative, engaging, and prayerful. By uniting together as people of faith, we strive to greater understand our faith and ultimately get to heaven.
Crosswalk
Do you want to go deeper in your faith? Crosswalk provides that opportunity through prayer, talks, discussions, praise and worship, and small groups. We meet every Wednesday in Mikesch Hall from 7:00-8:45 pm for a lively discussion of our faith, fellowship, and most importantly, prayer. Crosswalk offers formative and engaging conversations for practical ways to live and defend the faith in our daily lives.
Life NightsLife Nights begin following the 5pm Mass. Life Nights focus on various topics of our faith as we explore our faith through skits, games, talks, witnesses, and sharing. These more laid back discussions of faith provide an opportunity for everyone to engage and take the next step in their faith life. Life Nights conclude about 8pm. We ask that parents arrange to pick up their teens no later than 7:30 PM.

This retreat provides 8th graders practical ways to live out their faith entering high school.

Teens of the parish are responsible for ushering, lectoring, and taking up the collection and offertory. The Youth Mass is every Sunday at 5:00 pm and is enhanced with contemporary liturgical music, and is a great opportunity to join in worship with the youth of the parish. If you are a teenager who would like to read, serve or otherwise participate in Mass, please call.
