St. Stan’s Youth Group
St. Stan’s youth group is for youth in grades 7-12. It is a place for youth to grow in themselves, in community, and in Christ. The program includes weekly meetings where youth get together and learn about and grow in their faith, discuss issues and topics important to them in a safe environment, and meet adults and other young people who care about them and accept them as they are. Special events take place each month and include trips to the Villa Maria, a ropes course retreat, special Boys and Girls Retreats, 30 hours of fasting to raise money for the poor, service trips, skiing and snow tubing, trips to the Boundary Waters, and mission trips to places such as Washington DC, Chicago, Boston, Red lake Indian Reservation, Mexico, and Guatemala. For registration information call Kristine Ranweiler at 651-292-1390 or email kristine@ststans.org
