  • Centered on Christ.
    Built on
    Community.

    Jesus Christ calls us into community - a relationship with Him and with those around us. The purpose of STAY is to develop those relationships: with God by knowing Him & His Church and with the other teens of this parish.

    All high school teens are always welcome to join us.
