high school youth ministry

The Mother of God Family of Parishes believes that young people are God’s gift to the Church; a gift that calls us into ministry to, with, and for our youth. By the grace of the Holy Spirit, we serve the youth of our parish and their families. Therefore, we empower young people to live as loving disciples of Jesus Christ in our world today, draw young people to responsible participation in the life, mission, and work of the Catholic faith community and foster the total personal and spiritual growth of each young person.

DOCK is our Mother of God Family of Parishes High School Program which typically meets Sunday nights, 6:30-8:00 PM in the youth room in St. Charles School. Our theme is “faith in action.” We alternate our time together to include social, spiritual and service nights.  DOCK is a place where teens say they feel like they can be themselves. It is a place where teens feel seen, heard, and understood. We make it a point to show radical hospitality and inclusion. Teens come to DOCK when it works for them. It is not something where a teen has to come every week, although they are welcome to.  Friends are always welcome and do not have to be Catholic or MGFP parishioners to join us. We welcome teenagers from all schools/homeschools to join us as we journey in our faith lives together, grow in community and benefit from being a part of something bigger than ourselves, as we serve others.
