  Encounter.  Form.  Proclaim.

 


Divine Mercy's Youth Group is open to all youth grades 6-12.  We meet at 800 Marquette Avenue in South Milwaukee, WI 53172 on Mondays, from 6:00 - 8:00 p.m. 

Thanks to all who joined our Mardi Gras Party on February 12, 2024!  We'll keep meeting for the month of February on the 19th & 26th, take a break during the Parish Mission, and then continue meeting in March - May.  

Our format usually includes food and social time, along with games, discussion, and prayer and reflection.   We are going to be focusing a lot of our time this semester on forming relationships--with each other as a youth community and with God.  This will be through more conversations that will be in line with the 3 themes of Lent, along with other issues kids may bring up from week-to-week.  While our Lifeteen format has been very beneficial, we notice that it seems to feel too much like a formal religion class at times rather than a youth group.  Our hope is that we can reinforce what is already being taught in formation and religion classes at school through some fun and meaningful ways in our weekly get togethers.  Please stay tuned for our upcoming schedule.

Contact the Parish Office for more details at 414-762-6810 or amandadecker@divinemercysm.org.  

Come join us and bring a friend!
