Open to all children in the parish who are in first through eighth grade. The purpose of the organization is to allow the children of the parish a chance to get together for fun (games, crafts, and activities), food, and fellowship. There is no fee to join, but a permission slip is required for each child in attendance. The permission slip needs to be filled out prior to the child attending their first event.
We meet approximately once per month from September through April. Events are publicized through the church bulletin and handouts in PREP classes. We meet for approximately two hours either at church or at another location in the local area.
If you are interested in joining us, need more information, or have any questions, please contact Ed and Robin Burns: jryouthministry@hspalmyra.com.
ZOO AMERICA JR. YOUTH MINISTRY EVENT: Sunday, April 6, from 1pm-2:30pm.
Parish Students in grades 1-8 who attend PREP/Catholic School are invited to join us for a “Paws, Claws, Scales and Tales” presentation at ZooAmerica. We will learn about animal families and how, through adaptation, they use their bodies to survive. After the presentation, we will visit the zoo. When you RSVP, let us know if your child has a HersheyPark or ZooAmerica pass as we will receive a discounted price. If they do, please bring it along to the event. Also, this event will be prepaid, so we kindly ask if you RSVP, please ensure your child attends the event. RSVP by March 28 to jryouthministry@hspalmyra.com.
