Our youth program, led by Diana Culmer and Eric “E-Rock” Stallman provides activities for middle school and high school young people.

Welcome! At St. Clare’s Youth Ministries, we seek to offer a nurturing, creative, loving, and safe community of faith for each young person in our parish. The youth community is a place where teens can explore the various unfolding dimensions of their life and faith and ask any questions that may arise. Through conversation, worship, prayer, games, food, Bible study, and relaxing fun, youth are invited to deepen their faith and be part of building up the body of Christ in community. We hope you will join us!

Programs
Retreats and Overnight Gatherings There are several youth retreats and overnight gatherings throughout the year. These events are an opportunity for the young people of St. Clare’s to gather with their friends, fellowship, and build Christian community.

Youth Readers
All youth in grades 5-12 are invited to participate as readers during the 10:15 a.m. Sunday service on the first Sunday of the month. Our youth read the Holy Scripture lesson, lead the prayers of the people, sing, in addition to serving as acolytes.

Confirmation
Every year St. Clare’s offers preparations for the sacrament of Confirmation. Youth spend Sunday afternoons during the winter and spring in reflection and study and retreat to prepare taking on the full responsibility of being a mature Christian.
