Heart of Jesus Ministry
Jail Ministry
Life Teen
Is a youth ministry for high school teens that consists of three main parts: the Youth Mass, Life Nights, and retreats.
Praise, Worship and Adoration Night
Come bask in the presence of the Holy Spirit during evenings of contemporary praise & worship music, adoration of the Blessed Sacrament, an inspirational talk and an opportunity for prayer.
Activities:
Brothers of the Cross
This is a father/son club (ages 4-16). This club focuses on providing a Catholic environment for boys to interact with each other, learn about what it means to be a leader for Christ, and have fun at the same time. The fathers participate in teaching the boys virtues, discuss gospel readings, study the Catechism of the Catholic Church, and Apologetics. We are also a competitive group who engages in a wide variety of sporting activities at each of our club meetings. We believe that dads have the primary role for teaching our boys to be leaders for Christ, on and off the field. Throughout the year, we have regular guest speakers from Fr. Jay and other priests/religious who give spiritual talks and offer our club spiritual guidance.
Christmas Caroling
In early December, families share a pizza dinner and then carol at nursing homes and at homes of shut-ins bringing cookies and Christs love to all.

Men's Communion Breakfast
The quarterly Mass and free Saturday morning breakfast feature a great opportunity for prayer, reflection and camaraderie. Invited speakers offer special insights into the problems men face.
Religious Book Discussion
The group meets 12 times during the school year on Monday evenings from 7:45 to 9:45 pm. We delve deeply into one (or two) Catholic books by breaking them down into smaller reading assignments accompanied by discussion questions and catechism lessons. Each meeting includes a Gospel reflection, catechism and book discussion. New members are always welcome - please watch the bulletin for information.
