Have a fun & blessed summer!
If we don't see you for our summer activities,
we'll see you for our season opener on
Monday, Sep 11th, at 6:30pmOur program is a dynamic program made and tailored just for Middle School youth that meets on Monday nights 6:30 - 8pm (bi-weekly). As we have three grades (6-8), we follow a three year cycle – Sacred Scripture, Living as a Disciple of Christ, and the Communion of the Faithful. We will be changing our materials/night format a bit to ensure we are addressing content at the appropriate level and keeping the youth engaged more as we learn. Since our program is bi-weekly, the youth may have a task to complete at home with parents aimed at reinforcing what was learned and bringing the family together in a faith-filled activity.
In addition to the bi-weekly gatherings, we ask that each student participate in
- Assist at a Mass at least once (see Liturgy Assistanc below)
- Attend at least one Community Event
- Particpate in at least one Work of Mercy project (Serving at a dinner, Church clean ups, youth Christmas shopping trip, apple pie making for food pantry, etc)
For upcoming youth opportunities to live your faith in service/building relationships with Christ and one another, check out the SJN Youth Ministry page. -

Liturgy Assistance
In Middle and High School, we ask all of our students to assist at least once a year in at our 6 PM Mass as Altar servers, Lectors or Hospitality. If your family attends a different Mass time, you can also volunteer at that Mass time. Those who are active altar servers, lectors, or hospitality ministers who serve throughout the year, do not have to sign up.
When signing up, either choose to be an Altar server, Lector or Hospitality.
When serving, please arrive 15 minutes early dressed in your "Sunday best".
What is:
Lector - Proclaim one of the readings - Must prepare ahead of time!
Hospitality- - Greet people as they come into the Church and hand out any worship aids
- - Help with the collection and bring up the gifts
- - Pass out bulletins
- - Help organize the Church after Mass

Parents / Adult Help Needed!The success of our Faith Formation programs relies heavily on the volunteerism of our confirmed SJN Parishioners. Please consider sharing one of your most valuable assets with our children--your TIME! There are many ways to get involved within the Edge Program, whether it is working directly with the students or helping in the background!
We are looking for people to help in a number of different ways, but especially as a chaperones for various events. If you are interested or have questions, please contact Cheri'
