Community Catholic Youth Ministry
CCYM is a multi-parish youth group for the middle and high school students of Sacred Heart, St. Catherine’s, and St. Ignatius Hilltop. We strive to offer a variety of opportunities for our students to grow in faith and in community, such as Youth Nights, bonfires, retreats, movie nights, bowling, Bible studies, outdoor excursions, service projects, and more.
To receive announcements and updates from the youth ministry, you can: text the letters “ccym” to 84576 to join our Flocknote texting list, follow us on Instagram and Facebook @ccymcharlescounty, or scroll down to see our calendar.

Upcoming Events
Holy Thursday Pilgrimage
All students in grades 6-12, plus parents, are invited to join us on our Holy Thursday Pilgrimage on Thursday, April 14th. The Holy Thursday Pilgrimage is an old tradition, where pilgrims visit 7 churches to pray before the Blessed Sacrament, keeping watch with Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane. Our exact route and schedule is still being confirmed as we try to plan for as close to 7 churches as possible, but we start with 7pm Mass at Sacred Heart and will return to Sacred Heart by midnight. The plan is to travel by car, so drivers are needed. Please RSVP to let us know how many pilgrims to expect. Unaccompanied minors will need a youth group registration filled out (if they do not already have one for the year).

Where do we meet?
Since we are a multi-parish group, CCYM normally meets in one of these locations: 1) The Sacred Heart Friendship Room, which is the hall beneath the church. It can be found by entering the doors at the back of the church, or by entering through the front of the church and going down the stairs on either side of the vestibule. 2) The St. Catherine's Hall & Field located at 7636 Port Tobacco Rd. 3) The CCYM House, which is located at 106 Port Tobacco Rd. The CCYM House is a three-story building to the immediate left of Archbishop Neale School. It used to house the sisters who taught at the school but now hosts our students on the first floor. |
