Youth Ministry
Grade School
Serving children in Grades 1 - 5, St. Margaret's Parish School of Religion serves as supplemental religious education for the Christian formation of children.
Middle School
Serving children in Grades 6-8, our goal is to show middle school youth how faith can assist them in their everyday lives. Middle school students have the opportunity to attend classes and/or our youth group, CHAOS - Catholics Hyped About Our Savior.
High School
Our High School programs bring teens and adults together to study and explore how growth in the Spirit is a life-long journey. High School students are invited to prepare for and participate in the Sacrament of Confirmation and our High School Youth Group, LIFT - Living in Faith as Teens.
