The Youth Ministry

High School (Grades 9-12)
The Youth Ministry at St. Hugo of the Hills Parish is designed to welcome and actively involve young people in the life of the parish community and to help them respond to and live out their baptismal call. Youth Ministry utilizes the eight components outlined in the document, Renewing the Vision, from the United States Catholic Bishops. Young People are provided opportunities to learn and grow in their faith through catechesis, community building, prayer and worship, weekend retreats, and by engaging in service. Young people are highly encouraged to receive the training to become lectors, commentators, and eucharistic ministers at the parish and to consider how their gifts and talents may be used in other areas of parish life. In addition to parish-sponsored opportunities, the young people are encouraged to participate in vicariate, archdiocesan, and national programs.

Middle School (Grades 6-8)
T
he Mid-Hi Ministry at this level is designed to supplement the formation programs offered at St. Hugo Elementary School and through the Religious Education Office. Youth ministry at the middle school level focuses therefore on community building, service, and prayer. Getting teens involved early is a great way to develop their desire to be a part of parish life as they grow up. Click here for calendar with dates for upcoming events.

It Takes a Whole Parish
It takes the time, talents, and resources of our entire parish community to provide an excellent youth program for our middle and high school youth. We are asking all members of our adult community to take a few minutes to consider what gifts they can offer. (more)

Adult & Parent Volunteers Needed
The youth ministry program is in need of volunteers for two upcoming events. The first event is the vicariate “Last Bash” youth gathering on Sunday, May 21. Parents or other adults who would be available for 2 hour shifts between the hours of 1:00-5:00pm are needed to help supervise the activities and BBQ the hot dogs and hamburgers. The second event is the annual GLOVES service week. We are in need of one or two males who would be available the week of June 12-16 to be project leaders at the service sites. Project leaders must be at least 21 years old and complete the mandated background check. Also needed that week are a couple of parents who would be willing to provide dinner for the teens. If you can help in any of these areas or would like more information, please call Nikki at 248-644-5460.
