Our goal is to help teens develop lasting, life-giving Christian friendships with their peers and grow in their relationship with Jesus. We strive to cultivate a community that is rooted in the Catholic Faith, where your teen will be equipped to flourish as a human being and as a disciple of Christ.

We will be offering High School Youth Group events throughout the year for any high school student in our parish. Our goal for these nights is to give your kids the opportunity to socialize with like-minded people who are their age, and experience the faith in a fun and vibrant community.

There is no set fee to participate in Youth Group, however, to help cover the cost of food, technology, materials, etc., a donation amount of $50 to $100 per teen would be greatly appreciated.

Throughout the year we will be offering an opportunity for High School to join a small group. There will be young men's and young women's groups separated by age. These will be lead by adults in our parish who have a calling to help walk with high school teens through their high school career. Our goal for these is to help create better opportunities to grow in discipleship in a small group setting. Each group will dive deeper into whatever topics the group is interested in. They will meet when it's convenient for the whole group to meet together. Contact Geno Finn for more information about joining a small group.

3rd Wednesday of the Month

All high school students from Holy Cross Parish are invited for a free lunch every 3rd Wednesday of the month at St. Bernard throughout the school year. This is a great event to invite your Catholic and non-Catholic friends to attend! This is intended for Middleton High School students with the location being so close. However, any high school student in our parish is welcome to join if they are able.
