We are excited to announce the launch of the 2025 Upper Room Youth Program with options for Grades 6 to 12! We had three meetings from September to December that, as a pilot program, have provided us with excellent ideas and information on how we wanted to move forward with the program. Using this experience and additional feedback, we've developed a program that we hope will create an inspiring and comfortable space for the youth and serve as a canvas on which the youth will be able to make their mark as parishioners, disciples, citizens, and leaders within our community. Unless otherwise indicated through email and announcements, the events will take place at Sacred Heart Church in Strathmore. For more details or to join our mailing list, please email Joel at [email protected]
This will be a casual "cafe" atmosphere where the youth can invite others to play games, watch movies, share books, paint, play music, pray, and explore their own themes or activities. Snacks and refreshments will be provided. One of the first activities we will be doing during cafe, if the youth would like to join, is decorating and painting the "Upper Room". For more details or to join our mailing list, please email Joel at [email protected]
This will be similar to the nights we had in the fall. Youth will be welcomed with an introduction to the nightly theme and move through small group stations, large group activities. This is where we will continue with the theme of "Fire". Snacks and refreshments will be provided (although we will not be continuing with supper, we plan on having plenty of substantial and balanced snacks on this night).

We are currently in the process of re-starting a parish youth ministry program with the assistance and guidance of the Diocese. If you are looking to volunteer in this endeavor, please email the Pastoral Council here.
