STAY is open to any high school student in grades 9-12. The purpose of STAY is to provide a space for students to build community and fellowship.
With a focus on our call to serve others, the members of STAY engage in a variety of service activities in our community that include planning and implementing activities to fight hunger and food insecurity.
STAY also provides an opportunity for members to deepen their understanding of their faith and to discuss the challenges of living as people of faith in today's world. Opportunities for spiritual growth are provided to allow each individual to explore and grow their faith and to build faith within our community through activities such as overnight retreats, guided meditation, exploring the power of prayer, and discussing issues most relevant to teen's today.
STAY meets every Sunday evening after Confirmation, from 6:45 to 8:15 pm, and we eat pizza together at our meetings.
