Middle & High School Ministry

Bellarmine Chapel Youth Ministry provides engagement, programs, and resources for middle and high school students in 6th through 12th grade.

Vision Statement

Our goal is to foster a generation of disciples who, rooted in their relationship with Jesus Christ, and grounded in their Catholic faith, will be the Body of Christ with one another for others and for the world.

Mission Statement

Bellarmine Youth Ministry is dedicated to engaging young people from within and beyond the parish community. As disciples of Jesus Christ, we create an inclusive environment that encourages youth to develop meaningful relationships with God,  supportive adults, and each other. Our ministry inspires young people to recognize and embrace their important role as the present and future of the church. We empower them to become active disciples devoted to prayer and service.

Middle School

Middle school, grades 6-8, uses The Edge, a high-energy program that dives into Gospel stories guided by Xavier University students. We are excited to create a sense of belonging and connection to allow 11 to 13 years olds to engage with our shared Catholic faith in new and creative ways. This program occurs at the same time as our GIFT class for grades PK-5th to provide convenient timing for families to attend together between our morning Masses.

When: Sundays starting after labor day from 10:20-11:20 a.m., plus occasional Edge Night events.

High School

High school, grades 9-12, provides the opportunity to participate in a community of peers to grow in one’s discipleship, prayer, and understanding our Catholic faith. The community is a safe place for questions and conversations. The content includes topics in scripture, tradition, and doctrine applied to life. In addition to our weekly gatherings, we offer opportunities to participate in service and mission events and fun nights. 

When: Sunday evenings from 5-6:45 p.m.
