The Junior High School Youth Group for 7^th and 8^th Grade students was formed in 2001.  Its purpose is to provide opportunities for boys and girls from both public and Catholic schools to join for prayer, friendship, fun and service.   

The Junior High School Youth Group meets in the Parish Hall on the third Friday of each month from 7 to 9 PM for a Friendship Night.   The evening begins with prayer and worship, and is followed by time for games, sharing and pizza or other refreshments.   The group also participates in the Archdiocesan events for Junior High students, such as Magic Mountain Day. 

Throughout the year, the Junior High School Youth Group is also  involved in service projects to help others in our community.  This includes visits to convalescent homes, participation in beach cleanup programs,  the Long Beach “Make a Difference Day”, etc. 

Our faith stresses the importance of being living and vital members of the Christian community and giving loving service to others in the name of Jesus.  Studying these teachings from a book, or describing them verbally is not enough.  Young people must live the teachings, and the Junior High Youth Group gives them that opportunity.
