The Cathedral Parish Families in-Need program  helps the families at the Little Explorers (formerly Jefferson City Day Care) who are living at or below the federal poverty level.

Every month our parish and school focus on 5 items to collect and then deliver them to the day care on the 2nd Wednesday of the month. We strive to assist a minimum of 65 families.

Luke 18

Luke 18 is a weekend long retreat for 7th graders, helping them see that they are not only the future of our Church, but they are also the Church right now. Through high-energy games, skits, songs, personal sharing, and a series of talks given by high school students, students are encouraged to have fun and grow in their faith, experiencing God and His Love on a more personal level. After the weekend, students often find common ground with each other and a renewed zeal for sharing their faith.

Timothy 4

Timothy 4 is a parish based retreat in the same style as Luke 18. An entirely different experience than Luke 18, this retreat also happens at the parish and engages multiple groups of parishioners in a weekend experience designed specifically for 8th grade students.

The retreat is created to promote a deeper sense of community by bringing together adults, young adults and high school teens with the emphasis on youth ministering to youth.

Organized and coordinated by a parent volunteer and the youth ministry office, once the retreat begins the youth minister or young adult leads the group through various activities with the help of high school students (jr.s & sr.s) who not only present the talks, but also lead the small discussion groups.

These nights are solely for FUN! We think it's important to relax and build community with one another, the same way Christ formed community with the Apostles.
