Common questions after a powerful retreat like Teen ACTS are:

  • How can I continue to live out my faith?

  • Are there communities that I can be a part of that can help me grow closer to Jesus on a daily basis?

Thankfully, there are, and here are a few options:

St. William’s Youth Ministry

St. William of York Parish in Tewksbury, MA, has a vibrant youth ministry. Its mission is to bring teens in grades 8-12 in the parish and in the surrounding area closer to Christ as a community. The youth group meets regularly on:

  • Wednesdays, from 7-9pm in the Lower Church

  • Sundays, at the 5pm Mass until 7pm

In addition, there are other fun outside events and service opportunities that happen throughout the year. A few that have been done in the past are:

  • Friendsgiving

  • Trivia Night

  • Lowell Sock Exchange (service opportunity where we serve the homeless in Lowell, MA)

  • Watching Passion of the Christ on Good Friday

  • And many more!

Praise Out Loud Concerts

Praise Out Loud is a powerful, faith-filled praise and worship concert that features live music, a guest speaker, adoration, and opportunities for confession. They are typically from 7-9pm at St. William of York Parish, and they happen once every 4 months. The music is led by worship leader Mike McDuffee and his band, and they are truly amazing, faith-filled nights. The next Praise Out Loud is Friday, April 10.
