Our Mission: At Mary Queen Youth Ministry, we seek to lead young people into a life-changing encounter with Jesus Christ in the Eucharist. We strive to help young people receive God’s love, deepen their faith, proclaim the greatness of the Lord, serve with joy, and become missionary disciples of Jesus Christ.

Through prayer, faith formation, worship, fellowship, retreats, and service, we connect young people to the heart of the Church and equip them to live and share the Gospel in their families, schools, and communities.

Rooted in the mission of Mary Queen of the Holy Rosary Parish, we invite young people to discover their identity and purpose in Christ while actively participating in the life of the Church.

Mary Queen Youth Ministry is open to all middle school and high school students from our parish and surrounding community.

Whether you are exploring your faith, preparing for Confirmation, looking for a community, or seeking a deeper relationship with Jesus Christ, you have a place here. You do not have to have everything figured out. Come as you are, encounter Christ, build friendships, and grow in faith.

Youth Nights

• Wednesday — Confirmation Preparation
  A dedicated evening for students preparing to receive the Sacrament of Confirmation through faith formation, prayer, community, and discipleship.
• Thursday — Spanish Youth Group
  A Spanish-language youth community for middle and high school students centered on faith, fellowship, prayer, and growing closer to Christ.
• Sunday — English Youth Group & Life Nights
  Our English youth community gathers for Life Nights, bringing middle and high school students together for faith, fellowship, worship, and discipleship. Sunday Life Nights are held after the 5:00 PM Mass during the school year.

Life Teen

Mary Queen Youth Ministry incorporates the Life Teen model of parish-based Catholic youth ministry to help young people encounter Jesus Christ and grow as disciples.

Life Teen is centered on the Eucharist and seeks to lead teenagers and their families into a deeper relationship with Jesus Christ and His Church. With the Blessed Virgin Mary as our intercessor and guide, our youth ministry seeks to help young people discover the fullness of life offered through Christ and the Sacraments.

Through Life Nights, small groups, prayer, worship, retreats, service, and fellowship, young people are encouraged to know Christ, love Christ, and share Christ with others.

Households

Community is an important part of our Youth Ministry.

During our Life Nights, young people have the opportunity to belong to a Household, a small group of teens who journey together in faith, friendship, prayer, and discipleship.

Each Household has its own identity, interests, and shared spirituality while remaining rooted in the Catholic faith. Young people will have the opportunity to find the Household that feels like the right community for them. More information about our Households is coming soon!
