Summer Trip Survey for Parents of 5th-12th Graders

Ignition Youth Ministry at SMOY is already planning for next summer. To be the best possible stewards of God's gifts, we don't want to commit to more spots on any trip than we can reasonably fill. A yes on this form does not require you to participate in the trip, nor does it guarantee a spot. This is for planning purposes only!

Go to Survey

St. Margaret of York Youth Ministry is open to all 6th-12th grade students. There are Youth Nights, Retreats, Mission Trips, Camps and Conferences. SMOY offers it all!

Youth Involvement for 5:30 pm Mass Needed

Get involved with Liturgical Ministries as a Eucharistic Minister, Lector, Usher, Mass Coordinator or Cantor!

If you're an 8th grader or current high school student and would like to be a part of the youth-led 5:30 pm Mass then choose a ministry and contact one of our teen Mass Coordinators to receive more information before or after Mass.

Youth Group Dinners

We need help providing for a crucial part of our Youth Ministry…FOOD!

When the HS group meets, we need dinner provided for the teens! To save the Youth Ministry budget for programming needs, we are looking for donations as well as help ordering/delivering and serving/clean up.

Game Nights

On Game Nights, no matter the weather, we get together from 7-9pm outside and in the Fr. Jan Room for whatever games sound fun that week.

Steubenville Youth Conference

Every summer, thousands of teens encounter the Lord at Steubenville Conferences. This summer, we’ll take a group of high school students to Franciscan University at Steubenville for nationally known keynote speakers, great music, breakout workshops and a chance to meet Jesus in a way they have never experienced before.

Totus Tuus

Totus Tuus, Latin for "Totally Yours," is a week-long summer catechetical youth program that combines Catholic religious instruction and having fun! A team of college-age students and seminarians come to the parish to lead. The youthfulness and energy of the teachers is an inspiring way to share the faith and their enthusiasm is contagious, so come out and join us.

iPlunge & iSplash

iPlunge & iSplash are opportunities for our middle school teens to begin to understand how we can give back and reach out to our community and our world without leaving Cincinnati. We will be staying at the Jesuit Spiritual Center and serving at various locations and organizations throughout Cincinnati.

Catholic Heart Work Camp

For Catholic Heart Work Camp we will be traveling to Mary Help of Christians Academy in North Haledon, NJ. Our work there will be with many agencies, parishes, and Catholic Schools in the Paterson, Newark, and Elizabeth areas. We will also branch out into less urban areas of North Jersey. The worksites include homeless shelters, food pantries, low-income preschools, a friary, group homes for individuals with disabilities, Senior daycare, a nursing home, and a convent, just to highlight a few. The week will include a number of retreat elements to our morning and evening programming including Mass, Adoration, and dynamic talks as well as time for fellowship.
