MESSAGE FROM
THE REV. MARY CATHERINE YOUNG

Our Saviour’s Youth make up an important part of this Episcopal congregation. 

Youth grades 6-12 have opportunities to be involved in worship, faith formation, service-learning opportunities and fellowship throughout the year.  We like to pray and play together! 

Want to know what’s on the horizon, or what we’ve been up to recently?  Check out Our Saviour’s Youth Blog: www.oursaviouryouth.blogspot.com. Here you’ll find photos, stories, updates and reminders for events: past and present!  Sign up with Mary Cat to receive regular email updates as well – contact me at: rev.marycat@gmail.com, or find me on facebook: MaryCat Young.

Most youth events and meetings take place on Sundays and Wednesday.  Some of our groups include:

M3: Message Minded Middlers
This is the short name for our Middle School Youth group at Our Saviour.  These young people meet monthly for Youth Group on the third Sunday of the month with volunteer youth leaders from the parish.  They also participate in retreats and service projects that provide assistance and care for the needs of God's children here in Rock Hill and around the world. This fall M3 will participate in Rolling in Rock Hill, the CROPWALK and the Mission and Outreach fundraisers at ChristmasVille! Youth grades 6-8, get connected and get in community with M3 at Our Saviour!

YCDC – Youth Confirmation Discernment Class
At the age of 16, young people may make a mature faith commitment to live out the baptismal vows made on their behalf. Young people entering the 10th grade may engage the question of how and why they would want to make this commitmenet through a YCDC program that includes class time, mentoring with an adult in the congregation, service participation and more. A bishop does not visit Our Saviour on an annual basis to preside over a confirmation service; however, there are opportunities each year within the region should a young person wish to be confirmed before the next scheduled bishop visitation.
