St. Elizabeth Seton's Youth Ministry welcomes ALL 7th - 12th grade students to join us on Sunday evenings from 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. We focus on faith, fellowship, and service; all while having a little bit of fun.
Utilizing LifeTeen and EDGE programs, our members are connected to Catholicism in an energetic, enthuseastic, and creative way while being guided to live a Christian life, developing trust with their peers, and living out their faith into adulthood.
There are many opportunities for our members to connect with other teens throughout our diocese as well as around the country by attending the Diocese of Biloxi Youth Conference (DBYC), Boys and Girls Retreats through the Diocese of Biloxi, Teen ACTS sponsored by Our Lady of Fatima in Biloxi, Stuebenville, National Catholic Youth Conference (NCYC), Notre Dame Vision, and more.
Our members participate in service projects from volutneering at the parish Vacation Bible School each summer, visiting our elderly community at the Villa Maria Retirement Apartments, assisting other parish ministries, and more.
Please, come and see what the Youth Ministry will be doing this week or this month. Our doors are always open! Call or message Millie Hill at 228-219-0185 or Ryan Rivera at 228-327-0815 for more information.
SES Youth Ministry has created an Amazon Wishlist for our ministry. These are items for the youth room, upcoming youth events, or just for fun.
Thank you for your continued support of our youth ministry program. We're excited for what the upcoming 2022-2023 year has instore for us and could not do it without you!
The Mass is the source and summit of our Catholic life. St. Padre Pio said, "It would be easier for the world to survive without the sun than without the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass". We invite all youth and their families to join us for our Youth Mass, Sunday evenings on the following dates:

Covecrest is so much more than a retreat center and summer camp – Covecrest is a community of Catholics committed to reaching teens, restoring parishes and reclaiming culture!
Life Teen camp is for high school teens, those teens entering 9th grade in Fall 2024 to those who will have graduated in the Spring of 2024.
"At Life Teen, our camp grounds are holy ground. The Lord dwells here and not just in the tabernacles and chapels. Teens feel the Lord’s presence the moment they arrive and through daily mass, worship, Bible study and other spiritually engaging moments, the sacraments and the Catholic faith take fire like never before. Summer camps aren’t just any home, they’re the Father’s house." - www.lifeteen.com
