Youth Ministry

Welcome to the Blessed Sacrament Youth Ministry

Upcoming Events

February 24

Art Supply Drive

Join Youth Ministry volunteers as we offer the gift of art to economically disadvantaged elementary school students.  Images of art classes for young children often include finger painting at an easel, squeezing clay between your fingers or gluing collage materials onto a sheet of colorful paper. However, the Art Department at Plummer Elementary School doesn’t have a budget for art supplies, so students must work with plain white paper and a few colored pencils.  Volunteers will purchase and donate supplies so that we can make these vivid art images a reality for students at Plummer, a school where 100% of the students come from low-income backgrounds. Volunteers will bring their supplies to the conference room on the main level of the Parish Center immediately following the 5:30 mass. We will box the donations and then have dinner and a brief discussion with Fr. Alec Scott.  A list of needed supplies will be given upon registration.  This project offers three service hours. 

Advanced online registration is *required.* Register here.
