Welcome to the Blessed Sacrament Youth Ministry
Youth Ministry-led Mass
A new season of Youth Ministry began with a Mass led by our students.
Diaper Drive
We collected thousands of diapers to support young mothers as they care for their babies. See more photos HERE.
Keep Calm and Play On
We're not all work and no play. Our trips to Topgolf and Pinstripes gave students an opportunity to have fun in a safe environment with peers who share their faith. See more photos HERE.
Enjoying Our Natural Surroundings
Birthday Celebration
Spending time in nature allows us to reflect upon God's creation and feel his presence. See more HERE.
One of the pillars of our ministry is social interaction with other like-minded students. Birthday celebrations are a fun part of our group!
Easter Cards for Seniors
One of our April service projects was sending Easter cards with personalized notes to some of our elderly parishioners who might be spending the holiday alone.
Easter Egg Hunt
Our Youth Ministry collaborated with the Young Families Ministry to host an Easter egg hunt--immediately following the 10 am Mass on Easter Sunday--for some of our youngest parishoners. There were appearences by Fr. Magro and Fr. Foley and the Easter Bunny. We also stuffed more than 200 bags of Easter treats in preparation. Click HERE to see more photos!

Stations of the Cross for Children
Youth Ministry students performed a reenactment of the Stations of the Cross that was designed to help children understand the Passion of Christ. We created 14 scenes that depict Jesus on the day of his crucifixion. Click HERE to watch the video. -
Hitting the Slopes
Our ski trip to Whitetail was so much fun! Even with the COVID-19 restrictions and limitations our youth had a fabulous time together.
Youth Ministry and Seniors Ministry Collaboration
Our Youth Ministry students collaborated on a Valentine's Day outreach project recently. They made cards and calls to some of our elderly parishioners to help spread God's love on this special day. Later that afternoon, during our weekly gathering, they spoke about their experience connecting with some of our parish's seniors and then enjoyed a game of dodgeball.
Teen Mass
Our teens served at the 5:30 p.m. Mass on Saturday, February 6, 2021. This is the first time teens have been engaged in supporting Mass as a group at Blessed Sacrament.
Helping Mothers in Need
In January, we collected blankets, diapers, bottles and other essential items for the Northwest Center, a non-profit organization that offers support to new mothers and pregnant women in need.
December Service Project Success!
Our December service project, a fundraiser for Project Hope, a global health and humanitarian relief organization, was a huge success! Kudos to our co-chairs, youth members Heidi Linnartz and Anna Ponchione and all who contributed. In less than two weeks, we raised more $3,000 to provide protective equipment for doctors, nurses and others on the frontline around the world in the fight against COVID-19.Father Emanuel Magro graciously agreed to play a key role in our fundraising effort by undergoing a challenge as voted on by our donors. After the ballots were cast, recording a dance video won by a landslide. Take a moment to watch it HERE! -
Connecting with God through Nature
On a recent Sunday afternoon our youth group hiked through Rock Creek Forest, exploring its rustic and rugged landscape and feeling the presence of the God who created it.
Holiday Celebration
Our year came to a delightful close with a festive and faith-filled holidaygathering where we enjoyed each others company around a cozy fire pit.
Teen Mass Planning!
Under the guidance of Fr. Magro, we're creating a Mass that is designed especially for teens and pre-teens.
Winter Hike
Harvest Dinner
Youth Ministry students purchased produce at the Chevy Chase Farmer’s Market that they prepared and served at a youth group meeting to demonstrate how easy it can be to protect the environment by shopping locally.
S'mores on a Mild November Evening!
