 ACTION stands for "As Christ Together in Other's Needs". ACTION is a youth group geared towards teens who are comfortable attending a youth focused Mass (Sunday evenings at 7:30pm) without their parents. ACTION also includes various guest speakers and outings, however, these are currently postponed due to COVID-19 restrictions. Grab'n Go snacks are also suspended.
Ministries are facing a great challenge during this time of uncertainty. One thing that remains certain is that teenagers need to hear the hope of the gospel, be disciples, and experience a strong Christian community. ACTION is a unique and fun way to stay connected with fellow teens from different high schools in the area and grow in faith. For more information about ACTION, click Here.
