The mission of Youth Ministry is to bring the youth into a relationship with Christ through various offerings and to help the youth put Christ at the center of all they do on a daily basis. The opportunities include youth group, retreats, conferences, and parish outreaches. Youth Group meets at 6:30 PM on Sunday evenings and rotates between St. Augustine and Holy Family Parish. The group does not meet on holidays. High School Youth Group is for those in grades 9 - 12. There are opportunities for adults to volunteer with Youth Ministry, including Core Team members, chaperones, volunteer drivers, retreat team volunteers, and more.

What is Box City and 30 Hour Famine?
All youth in grades 9-12 have the opportunity to fast for 30 hours and sleep in a cardboard box outside to raise awareness of those in our community and around the world that are hungry and homeless. Additionally, we will be raising funds to support World Vision, an organization that helps feed hungry children around the world. Our goal is to raise $6,000.00 to help feed and care for 150 kids for a month.
How can I participate?
JOIN US! All high schoolers in grades 9-12 are welcome to make a box and join us for this eye-opening experience. A printable flyer can be downloaded HERE. Permission slips are required and can be downloaded HERE.
GIVE! Anyone can participate by helping us raise funds. Every $40 we raise can help feed and care for a child for one month. Checks should be made payable to World Vision and can be given to any participating B.O.L.D. youth, youth leader, placed in parish donation boxes (labeled B.O.L.D. Youth) or by
visiting our fundraising page.
PRAY! Ask God to bring us together and to help those in need every day.
