About Our Program
Middle School Youth Ministry for Grades 6-8 focuses on fostering the personal and spiritual growth of each young person. We provide opportunities to build community through fellowship, prayer, music, celebration, and study of our Catholic faith.
Meetings are held on Sunday evenings from 6:00-8:00 pm at Blessed Sacrament Parish. All Youth Ministry news and events are communicated through Flocknote and the bulletin. Flocknote emails are sent on a weekly basis.
Questions? Please contact Kathy Russell, Director of Youth Ministry, or call the parish office at 989-631-4447.

- Include prayer as a part of your daily routine.
- Read or pray with the Scriptures in a family setting.
- Take time for silent prayer in the presence of Jesus in the Eucharist.
- Encourage your youth to share their gifts in the parish’s life and ministry, in keeping with their age and abilities.
