Welcome to our youth group’s web page!  St. Anastasia Youth or SAY Amen! Is a ministry of St. Anastasia Catholic Church in St. Augustine, FL. 

Our vision at St. Anastasia is to integrate youth into the life of the parish, encouraging participation and interaction in the Mass and other parish events.  To develop the belief that each member of the parish has a responsibility to minister to the youth through their interactions with them and to create a Catholic-Christian atmosphere in which the youth can enjoy fellowship, faith growth, and a love of Jesus Christ.

We hope that you will take a moment to look around our site.  Check out our calendar of events for the various ministries offered and stop by sometime.  We would love to meet you!

Blessings,

The Youth Ministry Team

DNOW 2010:  fam-ILY

Saturday:  High school youth group will meet at 11am for lunch.  We will meet up with middle schoolers and parents to participate in a service project (tba).  After our service work (middle schoolers will go home), we will head back to the Community Center to clean up, eat dinner and reflect on our experiences.

Saturday evening from 7:30 - 10:00pm middle schoolers and parents will meet up with the high schoolers at Anastasia Baptist Church for a worship service.  The youth will be leading prayer, music, skits, and more while we enjoy a talk by a nationally renound speaker (middle schoolers will go home after this service).  High schoolers will head back to the Community Center for a lock in.
