Youth Worship Milestones
Youth Sunday: At the end of the school year we have Youth Sunday to celebrate the youth in our church. The graduating seniors deliver the homily at the 9 a.m. service in the Historic Sanctuary, and we have a party that evening to celebrate the end of school.
Confirmation: After a year long course exploring personal faith and the church, youth partake in the sacrament of confirmation in the Spring.
Fundraisers
Selling Christmas Wreaths: Every year during October and November, the youth sell beautiful evergreen Christmas wreaths to help with funding for the ski trip or mission trip.
Mamma Leone’s Italian Dinner: Usually in December, the youth host this Italian Dinner for the parish and friends to help raise money for ski trip. The youth sell tickets, work as waiters and waitresses, and auction off desserts. This is a really fun, festive event.
Flamingo Flocking: In the Spring, the youth will be flocking the yards of St. David’s parishioners all over town - literally. If you wake up one morning and your yard is awash in a sea of pink plastic flamingoes, know that the proceeds to have the flock removed go to a good cause - to help the youth have an authentic mission experience. Caution: laughter quotient associated with this event is known to be uproariously high!
