Welcome! Dear Middle/Jr. High Schooler, Welcome! Our goal is to help you, our 6th - 8th grade young people, to answer a few important questions.

This summer, we are taking a great bunch of teens to an amazing youth conference at Franciscan University in Steubenville, Ohio.  We have 17 youth signed up, and rarin' to go!  We have some great parents who have also volunteered to go as adult chaperones for this roadtrip to the Buckeye State!    The Franciscan Youth Conferences, or Steubenville Conferences, as they have come to be popularly known, have been dramatically changing the lives of young people for 30+ years.  They started out having these conferences on-site at Franciscan University of Steubenville, but soon had to start adding satellite conferences as the popularity grew.  At this point, over 30,000 high school youth attend these conferences every summer.   Promo Video on GodTube   Friday, July 11 - Saturday, July 13, 2008   Read more...   More Than Graduation   not a graduation...

St. Veronica Youth Ministry strives to help the parish become a "Church for young people, which will know how to speak to their heart and enkindle, comfort, and inspire enthusiasm in it with the joy of the Gospel and the strength of the Eucharist; a Church which will know how to invite and to welcome the person who seeks a purpose for which to commit his whole existence; a Church which is not afraid to require much, after having given much; which does not fear asking from young people the effort of a noble and authentic adventure, such as that of the following of the Gospel"

- Holy Father John Paul the Great, 1995 World Day of Prayer for Vocations
