High School Youth Ministry
The high school ministry at SMK is made up of youth in the 9th-12th grades. This ministry is designed to assist youth in keeping faith at the center of their lives as they journey throughout high school. High school youth participate in prayer, service, retreats, socials, as well as athletics and open gyms. The high school ministry is committed to providing the youth of our parish with the tools and resources to maintain their Catholic Faith after graduation from high school.
