Come to me, all you who labor and are burdened, and I will give you rest.
Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am meek and humble of heart;
and you will find rest for yourselves.
For my yoke is easy, and my burden light.
This is Jesus' invitation to discipleship in Matthew 11:28-30.
Father Patrick M. Crino, Pastor

Saint Thomas the Apostle Youth Ministries is your home to find out about all of the programs and events we are hosting for the youth in our community! STAP Youth is involved in the lives of our youth in several ministries that all work closely together.
Life Teen is our high school program that meets Sunday nights after the 5 PM Mass to share fellowship and learn about Jesus Christ and His Church. Life Teen also includes Purpose, our confirmation prep program which meets on Tuesday evening. EDGE is our once-a-month meeting for middle-school youth and a great primer for jumping into the Life Teen experience! More Than Words is our social justice ministry which caters to all middle and high-schoolers. MTW meets once a week and covers a social justice topic over the course of a month and then, true to the name, heads out to put what was learned into action somewhere in the community.
Browse through our programs and see what would be a good fit for you and go check out our blog page for all the newest and upcoming events! For any questions contact our Youth Ministry Director, Deacon Ed Sheffer or Associate Youth Minister, Eric Huelsman.
