High School Youth Nights
“Life with Christ is a wonderful adventure.” – St. John Paul II
About High School Ministry at St. Bart’s:
Welcome! We are delighted that you are considering St. Bart's Highschool Youth Nights student. We believe that each and every student is a unique expression of God’s love designed to know Christ, be transformed by His presence, and sent out to share Him with those in need. Our greatest joy and deepest fulfillment lies in His purposes for our life and we desire that our High Schoolers discover and pursue the fullness of life that God intends for them.
What are High School Youth Nights?
We invite all high schoolers to join our High School Youth Nights, where they will learn to live out their faith as part of a community of peers and become leaders within the Church and beyond. We meet twice monthly (Oct.-April) on Thursday nights from 6:15pm until 8pm. The evenings offer fun and dynamic activities: fellowship, worship, prayer, formation, and small group sharing to help the students deepen their relationship with Christ while building healthy, meaningful connections with their fellow students. Additional formation and service opportunities are available throughout the school year.
To grow as leaders, we also invite our High School youth to also help put on our middle school nights. These nights offer a great opportunity to learn to live out their call as disciples of Christ to evangelize and embrace life in the Holy Spirit. Our students will also learn to build authentic friendships rooted in faith as they continue to discover their unique gifts and talents.

Local Events
Beyond our local offerings at St. Bart’s, we are also attending several local events to help our students deepen their faith and connect with other on fire Catholic teens throughout the Twin Cities.
NET Lifeline
Hosted by NET Ministries in West Saint Paul, Lifeline is a dynamic Saturday night event for High Schoolers that features praise and worship, a presentation, Mass, and Adoration. The night runs from 6-9:30 pm and we will be meeting at St. Bart’s at 4:30pm to depart as a group. You can check the St. Bart’s calendar for dates and sign ups will be posted before each event. For more information on Lifeline, check NET Ministries website. Refer to the youth ministry calendar for Lifeline dates.
Wherever your teen is in their faith journey—whether they wonder if God is even real or have been walking with Him for years—they are welcome!
Youth Ministry and Confirmation
All Confirmation candidates are encouraged to also participate in St. Bart’s Youth Ministry program, either through the Middle School or High School Youth Nights appropriate to their age. The chance to cultivate a deeper connection with Christ and stronger friendships with Catholic peers helps students embrace the beautiful, life-long adventure with Christ that begins in Confirmation.
