Through RPM teens will also have the opportunity to experience nationwide conferences like NCYC (National Catholic Youth Conference) and the Steubenville Conference, which have the best speakers, music, workshops, and thousands of other Catholic teens in attendance. These weekends have been very transformational for those who have attended!
Join us this summer for the Diocesan event Steubenville Joliet, held in Lisle. With an incredible group of speakers, leaders and musicians, who will inspire, challenge and lead us closer to Christ. Click here for more details.
What is RPM? The Acronym stands for Raphael Peer Ministry and meets on most Thursdays from 7-8:30 pm with the added opportunity to form small groups. RPM meetings are open to all 8th thru 12th graders. This group is under the new leadership of Deacon Jerry Afeltra! Join this growing group for food, fellowship, and fun! Each week’s activities also provides the opportunity to dive deeper into our faith and grow our personal relationship with Christ. Jesus loves us all, exactly where we are. This group is here to remind all of us of that priceless fact.
Feel free to bring a friend! There is no need to sign up…just show up!
