Saint Thomas the Apostle Jr high and high school youth ministry
St Thomas the Apostle Youth Ministries strives to be a place of belonging for all our Jr High and High School students. Being a young person today is a challenge and we strive to give you a safe place to be, hang out with your friends and encounter Christ in all we do.
We believe that God loves you and that He has a plan for your life (Jeremiah 29:11) and we desire to bring fun into everything we do - through Summer Camp, Steubenville HS Youth Conference, Retreats, Social and Service Events, Road Trips, and regular youth events. Saint Paul was pretty clear in his message to Saint Timothy, "Let no one look down on you because of your youth...." (1 Tim 4:12) Sign-ups are available for each event and will be posted on our website and emailed out. No worries if you just show up too! Friends are always welcome. Hope you can make it.
