Our Mission & Goals
The mission of the St. Stanislaus Youth Ministry is to provide opportunities for youth in our parish to be active participants in the Catholic faith community.
The goals for the St. Stanislaus Youth Ministry are for youth to socially interact with peers of our church, to serve the needs of people in the community, and to deepen youth's relationship with God through prayer and worship.
2026 Mission Trip to Niagara Falls, NY
July 26, 2026 - July 31, 2026
Youth and adults will travel to Niagara Falls, NY from July 26, 2026 to July 31, 2026.

During the Mission Trip you will learn more about the community by participating in evening activities.
You will explore the community, visit the beauty of the Falls, and share a time of fellowship with each other, our partners, and community members.
