Middle school is a vital time for our youth to build a personal foundation in Christ and discover the joy of fellowship within the church community. We are thrilled to invite all 6th, 7th, and 8th graders to Ignite 678, our dedicated middle school youth ministry. Through engaging discussions, community service, and fun activities like our Pancake & Pajama Party and Game Night, teens will have the opportunity to grow deeply in their Catholic faith alongside their peers.

The 2026–2027 calendar is packed with meaningful topics ranging from Morality and Social Justice to the Sacraments of Healing. Whether your middle schooler is seeking answers to big questions or just looking for a welcoming space to make true friends, Ignite 678 provides the perfect environment for them to belong.

Here is everything you need to know to get involved:

• Who: All 6th, 7th, and 8th graders.
• When: Scheduled dates throughout the school year, meeting from 6:30 PM to 8:30 PM.
• Where: St. Pier Room at St. Angela Merici Church.
