Hello! My name is Faith Porter and I am the youth ministry leader for our three parishes. We are in the process of expanding our youth offerings, so please keep an eye out for new opportunities and retreats! All youth are are welcome to attend any events, Catholic or otherwise, so please invite your friends! 

You may contact me by calling either the office at St. Stanislaus or St. Mary's Visitation, or by emailing me at [email protected]. I look forward to meeting you and helping guide more of our youth to the heart of Christ.

There are several Y-Disciple groups that meet on a bi-weekly basis. These groups consist of several high school students (separate boys and girls groups) that gather together at a parent's home, and meet with two adult mentors. These are not like your average meetings, but they are built around each unique group of friends, where they are at in their faith journey, and what their interests are. The Y-Disciple program provides many different video series, games, and activities that groups can utilize when they would like, all while encouraging them to change it with up with group trips or new activities. 

If you would like to learn more, join a group, or be an adult mentor please contact Faith Porter at [email protected].

There are several retreats that we attend each year in various locations. All Confirmation students must attend 2 retreats by the time they are Confirmed. Scholarships are available to cover retreat costs. 

Upcoming retreats: 

• Antioch Retreat - November 14-16, 2025 in Carmel, IN
  
• The Presence Retreat - February 27-March 1, 2026 in Holland, MI
