Teen Advisory Board: Our Teen Advisory Board meets on specific Sundays throughout the year. Confirmed teens are invited to help us to shape the future of Youth Ministry at St. E’s. Please keep this amazing group of teen leaders in your prayers, as they work together to write a new chapter in SPARK Teen Ministry! If you are a confirmed high school or college student and would like to serve on the board, please contact Corinne Kilkeary or Shannon Jones.
Peer Leaders, expand your leadership role in the parish by serving as Teen Leaders in our monthly events. This will be a great opportunity to continue to build your leadership skills, grow your faith, and make a difference!
Adults, SPARK Teen Ministry depends upon your partnership! If you would like to join our adult volunteer/mentor team, please contact Corinne Kilkeary or Shannon Jones for more details.

May 2022
Greetings, my SPARK friends and Families.
April has been such a busy month! I pray that you were able to slow down and spend some quality time with the Lord and your families as you celebrated Holy Easter! You have been amazing Ministers to our Church Community between Birthday Cheer, Egg Hunts, El Mundo de Colores and The Teen Mass, whew!!! We are truly blessed to have God working through you in our parish!
May is the month of our Blessed Mother, Mary. Please think of her willing obedience to the call of the Lord as you prayerfully consider participating in our SPARK Service opportunities this month.

Operation Jersey Cares 5/21-22/2022
This month, our Service focus turns to our Troops overseas! Many families in our parish and across our communities have brave men and women being trained or deployed across the country and world. We will partner with Operation Jersey Cares to provide some small comforts to our Troops overseas as they answer their calling to keep our country safe under God! Please see below for a list of needed donations:
Kindly show your support by placing the needed items in the bins located in the Community Room after masses on May 21-22, 2022. This project pairs perfectly with the Teen Mass at 5 pm!
Teens are needed after the 5pm Teen Mass and the 11am Sunday mass to help organize the donations.

Teen Mass 5/21/2022
There are only two Teen Masses Left before summer! If you have been putting off signing up to serve in this beautiful ministry, wait no longer!
We have many openings for Lectors, Ushers, Gift Bearers and Musicians/Singers. Share your talents with our Parish as we enhance the celebration of Holy Mass.
**Be on the lookout for a Lector Clinic that will run one day over the Summer in August, before our in-house lector leaves for college! Don’t miss the opportunity to come out and learn that this ministry is much less intimidating than you think!!**
May Teen Mass Sign Up Here!
