Junior Group

Junior Group is a chance for middle schoolers to hang out with friends, learn more about Catholic beliefs and traditions, and learn to pray in a way that brings them closer to God.

We host service projects, social events, and meetings that incorporate prayer, games, and discussion.

All 6th-8th graders are welcome to join us, including non-parishioners and non-Catholics.

Past Events

Aug. 17: Pennell Center Cleanup

Three wasp nests, two ancient cans of air freshener, and one melted rug later, the Pennell Center is a little bit cleaner for fall programming! Thanks to everyone who helped out.

Aug. 8: Praise, Worship & Adore

It was a beautiful, powerful evening of prayer at Praise, Worship, and Adore! Thanks to everyone who helped out. Emily is also very thankful for all the well-wishes and prayers as she starts her new endeavor in England!

July 29 - Aug 2: VBS

We had a wild week at ROAR VBS! We learned about everything from Hebrew slavery to how to make slime to the mysteries of the rosary. Thanks so much to all the Junior Groupers who helped out!

July 8: Launch Outing

We had a great time at Launch! We did everything from dodgeball to tag to aerial contests to hide-and-seek and rounded off the night with ice cream.

June 30: Family Game Night

We had a lot of fun playing everything from Quirkle to Bible-themed Taboo at Family Game Night! The Rockwells dominated in clue-giving and the red team was declared the winner.

June 9: Altar Server Training

Congratulations to all our new altar servers! It's quite an honor to help as Jesus is brought to us in the Eucharist. May you have many years in the ministry.

June 2: Welcome!

Welcome to Becca who was the only new Junior Group to brave the thunderstorms and come to Preview Night! We had a lot of fun playing games like volleyball and Taboo, and getting to know each other with tough questions like "Name a time when you had to apologize for something." We hope to welcome more new people over the summer when the weather is better!
