TNT- Youth Group
We would like to welcome you to another exciting year with St. Catherine’s Youth Ministry. We have many fun events planned to help us dig deeper in our faith and learn more about Jesus!
We meet from
7:00-8:30 pm every Thursday (note time change from previous years!)
in the McKinstra Room
for discussion and prayer.
Youth Room Opens at 6:30pm each Thursday - come hang out with friends before youth group!
Hope to see you there – and bring a friend!
Youth Holy Hour
Youth Holy Hour for all high school and middle school students! Come check it out!
It's time for prayer, praise and worship, and reflection.
I know - I know... You don't have "time" for praying for a WHOLE HOUR - UGH!!!!! hahaha! But it's one of those things that once you are there, you realized how much you needed it, how much better you feel, and how you have a sense of renewal!
Adoration is available WEEKLY at the Parish on Wednesdays from 5-7pm!
See the main parish page for more details.Mission Trip
The mission trips are with Catholic Heart Work Camp
( www.heartworkcamp.com). CHWC has been serving communities nationwide for over 25 years. It is a Catholic based group that offers quality service camps, serves people in need, and spiritually enriches the lives of Workcamp participants. Worksites may include projects such as: painting, yard work, indoor/outdoor clean-up, home maintenance and repair on existing homes, neighborhood revitalization, helping with children at daycare centers/boys and girls clubs for low income families, helping at centers that distribute food to the needy, and, above all, restoring hope to those who have none.
Spots will be filled on a first-come, first-serve basis. Spots will continued to be filled until December 27, 2019. After that date, we will release any unfilled spots back to CHWC.
See FORMS for the Parent Letter and Regitration Form and Important Dates

Camp WOW High School Counselors
While the warmth and fun of the summer months seems light years away, it is nevertheless time for us to begin planning for the annual Camp WOW.Camp WOW is a four day middle school summer camp for students from several local area parishes including St. Mary’s in Sycamore, St. Catherine of Sienna in Dundee, St Gall's in Elburn, and Our Lady of the Wayside in Arlington Heights. It is the joint effort of these participating parishes that makes our camp so successful! More specifically, it is the leadership and guidance provided by the high school camp counselors that makes camp both a significant social and spiritual experience for the middle school students. Therefore, it is at this time that we are beginning the volunteer camp counselor recruitment, interview, and selection process.
Steubenville Youth Conference
“The music was awesome!”
“This weekend changed my life.”
“The best part was Eucharistic Adoration.”
“I am bringing all my friends next year.”
“My parents signed me up without telling me and I was not happy but now I am really glad I went.”
“The speakers inspired me to really work on my relationship with God!”
This doesn’t sound like your typical teen response to a “church” event but these are just a few of the statements from teens who attended the Steubenville Youth Conference.
This year we will be attending the Steubenville Youth Conference Date and Location TBD. We hope to be able to accommodate all current 8th grade students through seniors who wish to attend. We will be traveling on a coach bus and staying at a local hotel.
Lack of funds should not be a reason to miss out on this great opportunity.
Please contact me, if this is a concern for your family.
