St. Mary's welcomes and invites all the youth of our parish to join us in a wide-variety of events designed to deepen faith, serve those in need, and to bring together friends, old and new. To learn more about our Youth Ministry or St. Mary's keep an eye on our parish website and bulletin. Here are a few of the opportunities and ways to get involved.
Teens and young adults from St. Mary's are participating in the Recreational Diocesan Volleyball League this summer. Games are held on Monday evenings at St. Christopher Parish in Worcester and we play against St. Brigid's Millbury, St. Ann's Nth Oxford, North American Martyrs Auburn, Our Lady of Good Counsel Boylston, Christ the King Worcester, St. Aloysius/St. Jude Leicester. Thank you Jenn and Emily Pegg for coordinating for St. Mary's! This league is also sponsored by the New Evangelization Worcester for Youth & Young Adults which serves the young people and those that minister to them throughout the Worcester Diocese. To learn more about NEW, check out their website or like them on Facebook!
