YOUTH MINISTRY MISSION
Upon accepting the Holy Father's challenge, we will focus the church's ministry with adolescents on three essential goals:
1. Empowering young people to live as disciples of Jesus Christ in our world today
2. Drawing young people to responsible participation in the life, mission, and work of the faith community
3. Fostering the personal and spiritual growth of each young person
To accomplish these goals it will take the people and resources of the entire Church. Our program will offer the practical frame work for utilizing the resources of the entire faith community and integrating ministry with adolescents and their families into the total life and mission of the church.
Anyone in our parish interested in being a part of this exciting new Ministry to work with our youth, please contact our Youth Ministry Directors, Mitch and Gretchen Dunlap at [email protected]

SHADOW DRAMA~STATIONS OF THE CROSS
The youth of St. Stanislaus Catholic Church performed a Shadow Drama of the Stations of the Cross on Wednesday, March 25, 2015 in the church. The group was composed of high school youth who worked together for several weeks planning and perfecting these cameos of the 14 stations of Jesus’ last day on earth. The youth took it upon themselves to design costumes, gather props, rehearse each scene and advertise their production. During the rehearsals, the participants work with meticulous detail on each scene to obtain perfection. The Shadow Drama was well attended by parishioners and the local community. Special thanks to Elva Welborn our Youth Director. St. Stanislaus Shadow Drama participants: L to R Josh T., Kenia V., Andy Z., Will F., Aidan K., Jesse Z., Taelen B., Emery W. and Isaac Weltens.

MIDDLE SCHOOL YOUTH MINISTRY
The St. Stanislaus Youth Ministry Program sponsored a "Balloon Rosary" on Sunday, October 26, 2014. The middle school youth researched and learned about the Balloon Rosary. They practiced and worked hard to prepare the rosary and arranged for the praying and releasing of the balloons. The parish community came out to support the youth and watched as their success, hard work and prayers floated up to heaven on a beautiful fall day. Thank you to Laura Heiderich for the wonderful idea.
