Youth Ministry

Our mission is to journey with the youth as they encounter, love, and serve our Lord. 

Our vision is to inspire young people as they grow in their faith and discover their God-given identity and purpose.

Edge Ministry

St. John’s Parish is excited to offer Edge, a Catholic middle school ministry for Grades 6–8! Youth are invited to join for a night of faith, fun and fellowship. Our goal for Edge ministry is to foster a sense of community, grow in friendship, and deepen the faith of our young people through games, small group discussions, light snacks in the parish hall. 

As we wrap up our Youth Ministry year, we thank God for the many blessings, friendships, and experiences that brought us together. To the St. John’s community, we would like to extend our heartfelt thanks for your prayers, dedication, and support throughout the year. You have helped make our youth ministry a vibrant and faith-filled community where young people can grow in their relationship with Christ and one another. 

 If you are interested in volunteering with Edge or Life Teen for the upcoming ministry year, we would love to hear from you! Please email our Youth Minister, Mercy, at StJohnsYM@archtoronto.org for more information. 

We wish you and your families a happy, safe, and blessed summer, and we look forward to all that God has in store for our Youth Ministry in the year ahead! 

Join our Core team!   

We’re looking for caring, enthusiastic parishioners who are willing to serve as mentors, small-group leaders, or helpers during our Ministry Nights! Will you join us? Help and support our youth as they encounter, love and serve our Lord. Training will be provided!   

If you feel called to serve, please contact our Youth Minister, Mercy, for more information at StJohnsYM@archtoronto.org
