The mission of St. Anselm Youth Ministry is to create and maintain a Catholic community where teens are accepted and known, formed in faith, and sent as disciples of Jesus Christ.

Midweek Ministry

All high school students are invited to join us on Wednesdays from 7:30-9:00 p.m. in the Life Teen Room for time to recharge and relate with God and one another.

Luke 18 Weekend

This retreat welcomes 8th graders into the church by helping them experience God and His love. Through high-energy games, skits, songs, personal sharing, participation in the sacraments, prayer, and a series of talks given by high school students, the participants are encouraged to have fun and take one step deeper into their faith journey. The weekend offers the opportunity to experience God’s love on a more personal level and share that love with those around them. Well-trained high school students give talks and lead small groups, helping the participants find ways to welcome God into their everyday lives.

Steubenville Conference

Steubenville is a high-energy youth conference where thousands of teens are invited to encounter Jesus Christ through dynamic speakers, engaging music, the Sacraments, small group discussions, and fellowship with other teens. This event is held annually in July at Missouri State University in Springfield, MO.

Fall Retreat

Every fall we steal away for the weekend to make new friends, relax, and connect with God away from the busyness of everyday life! Each year the theme and focus changes, but it always includes time for talks, small groups, sacraments, and a bonfire. This annual retreat is held in November at a metro area retreat center.
