Saint Marianne Cope Youth Ministry and Faith Formation:
Through this group, young people in grades 7-12 have the opportunity to know, live, and share their faith. Meetings use a small team faith sharing approach to learning and sharing faith. In addition to meetings, many social, service, and liturgical events are planned throughout the year.
Registration for the 2026-2027 year is now open.
1. Music and Liturgy:
SMC Youth Ministry Music (grades 7 -12). The Ensemble encourages young people to use their musical talents to make decisions and be involved in liturgy and prayer in our parish. This group learns about liturgy planning and helps to plan and lead the music for several Masses, prayer services and meetings during the year. Members complete one year in the SMC Youth Ministry Choir prior to becoming a member of the Ensemble and they must be commitment to the scheduled practices, Masses, and prayer services throughout the year.
2. Retreats and Conferences:
Throughout the year, SMC Youth Ministry participants have the opportunity to attend a variety of experiences including Kingdom Bound and parish retreats.
Volunteers who work in any ministry with children and vulnerable elderly people first participate in the Diocese Training for Creating a Safe Environment.
