Youth Ministry

At St. Dominic we strive to meet teens where they are at, while providing opportunities to encounter Jesus Christ. At each gathering, there will be an opportunity for students to deepen their faith, while having fun and building relationships with their peers.  Events may provide games, small groups, prayer and so much more.  We look forward to journeying with you towards the Lord!

WEDNESDAY MORNING DONUTS!

New this year is “Wednesday morning donuts” for high school students!  This gathering will take place once a month (maybe more as it grows) and will give students something to look forward to on late-start Wednesdays.  Students will enjoy having a chance to talk about whatever is on their minds, in a safe space. 

Note: If you are an adult who enjoys conversations with high school students, please consider offering an hour each month to be a part of this program. The more volunteers we have, the more we can offer this opportunity. Contact the parish office for more information.

We are looking for several more high school students to take a more active role in planning these events.  Let us know if this may “float your boat.”

NET RETREAT

All students are encouraged to attend an annual NET retreat for 6 – 12 grade students.  The next event will be on Sunday, September 22, 2024, from 9:00 am – 4:00 pm at Annunciation Church.  NET retreats are presented by NET Ministries, an organization that trains young adults to travel across the US, sharing the Gospel with young people and their families. 

NET Ministries operates under the ecclesiastical vigilance of the Archbishop of St. Paul & Minneapolis and since 1981, NET Teams have led over 32,000 retreats! NET Ministries
