YOUTH MINISTRY
St. Bridget of Sweden Parish Youth Ministry seeks to bring teens to closer relationship with Christ through fellowship, fun activities, and faith-building. Our program incorporates weekly meetings, service opportunities, and parish involvement. We welcome all high schoolers, regardless of their level of experience with Catholicism. Christ opened His arms for any who would come to Him, and so do we.

Saint of the Week
St. Thomas Aquinas
Feast Day: January 28th
Bio: St. Thomas Aquinas is widely regarded as one of the most influential Catholic theologians of all time. He was given to a Benedictine monastery at 5 by his parents, an caused a huge scandal when he left and joined the Dominicans. His family was so upset that they had his brother capture him and keep him locked in the family home for a year! He eventually escaped and went to finish his studies for the priesthood in Rome. His writings are still studied today by Catholics all over the world, and his recognition of human reason as one of God's greatest gifts is a concept that we can all take to heart. St. Thomas Aquinas, pray for us!
