Attention High School Youth!

High School Youth Ministry is kicking off this Fall on October 11th! Come join HS Youth Group at the 11am Sunday Mass at St. Monica followed by a bagel brunch at Einstein Bros on Mercer Island! High School Youth Group is starting small groups that meet 1-2x monthly for the fall – if you know a high schooler who wants to dig deeper in their faith through intentional discipleship, have them register via the Youth Ministry page on either parish website! Reach out to Sharon Phillips for more details and information.
