Youth Group Coming Soon:

Our SFDS Youth Ministry is excited to launch its very first Youth Group in September 2026! This new initiative is designed to create a welcoming and supportive community where high school students can grow in faith, friendship, and confidence as they navigate their teen years.

The group will meet every second Monday from 7:00–9:00 PM where there will be a variety of engaging activities and formation opportunities. Each evening will include a mix of faith exploration, small group discussions, games, and opportunities to build meaningful friendships. Our goal is to provide a safe and encouraging space where teens feel comfortable asking questions, learning about their faith, and supporting one another.

Youth participants will also have the opportunity to receive one-on-one mentorship, take part in service projects, and enjoy fun community-building activities throughout the year.

Through these experiences, we hope to help young people deepen their relationship with Christ while discovering how their gifts can serve others.

There is no cost to participate, and registration will open in August. Stay tuned for more details—we can’t wait to welcome our first group of youth this fall! And in the meantime… Check out our Instagram page @sfds.youth!

The Search (both Youth and Young Adult):

The Search is a seven-part video series that explores some of life’s biggest questions—questions like “What do you seek?” and “Why a God?”. Through engaging videos and open discussion, participants are invited to reflect on the deeper meaning of life, faith, and purpose in a welcoming and supportive environment.

This program is open to high school students and young adults ages 13–25. We will gather every second Monday at 7:00 PM from April 13 to July 6. After watching each episode, participants will take part in small group discussions, divided by age group so that conversations can be meaningful and relevant to their stage of life. These discussions provide a space where young people can ask questions, share their perspectives, and explore the Catholic faith together.

Each evening will also include games and fun activities, creating opportunities to relax, build friendships, and grow as a community. Whether you’re curious about faith, looking for deeper answers, or simply hoping to meet new people, The Search offers a thoughtful and engaging place to begin the journey.
