Youth & Young Adults Office Mini Bulletin
Formative Outreach Groups
“Learning to think rigorously, so as to act rightly and to serve humanity better.”
- Saint John Paul II
These are groups involved in the promotion and education of the church missions to serve humanity. The youth and young people groups act on their charisms and mission to provide help to the community wherever they can. All youth and young people groups are guided and formed by adult and Friar formators.
Leaders from each youth and young people group sit on the Youth Council called Deus Caritas Est (DCE). Two appointed leaders chair DCE and coordinate all activities involving youths and young people in the parish. We consider youth and young people as individuals from 13 to 28 years of age. Should you need to reach us on any youth and young people related matters, please contact us at youths.stmary@catholic.org.sg.
The Outreach Office works closely with the Faith and Evangelisation Office to involve all confirmation teens in this effort to promote and educate action for humanity, starting with their families and from within their immediate communities. For more information on what each group does, click below to learn more.

Jubilate Deo Youth Choir
(Age 13-25yrs) 🔝
“To sing is to pray twice.” – St. Augustine
Youth Choir is a ministry called to serve the Lord through living our lives in endless song, bringing the Liturgy and the Word of God alive. Prior to the pandemic, we gathered for practices every Sunday. We also served the 6.30pm mass every first Saturday of the month, Easter Sunday and Christmas Eve masses too. While we patiently await the time where we could gather again, in this season we participate regularly in Virtual Choirs for the online masses of our parish. If you would like to join us or find out more information, please email to youths.stmary@catholic.org.sg.
Youth Catechists 🔝
Youth Catechists is a group of youths that are passionate about spreading the word of God. We assist the adult catechists, conduct our own lessons, and have formation sessions together from time to time. We hope to inspire others by allowing them to learn more about the faith. If you would like to join us or find out more information, please email to youths.stmary@catholic.org.sg.
"All your children will be taught by the Lord, and great shall be the peace of your children" -Isaiah 54:13
Children’s Liturgy (Youth) 🔝
Children’s Liturgy of the Word is a parish-based program seeking to develop in children an appreciation of the word of God. At St Mary’s, all Primary 1 & 2 children attend Children’s Liturgy (CL) of the Word as part of their faith formation process.
Led by a team of dedicated adults and youth volunteers, CL uses interactive mediums such as skits, videos and stories - so as to make the gospel come alive for the children. In short - it is the Mass made accessible to the kids.
In this diverse team, the youth get to play a vital role in bringing the Gospel to life, from being Gospel readers to acting in skits. Following the shift of CL sessions to virtual / digital platforms, their roles have evolved to being Zoom Teaching Assistants to the Adult Catechists during online sessions. They are also involved in developing weekly digital media (aligning to the weekly Gospel readings) in the form of videos, creating accompanying digital graphics which assist in the delivery of God’s message to the children so as to ensure that they stay connected to God throughout the course of the pandemic. These videos are posted in the Children’s Liturgy page.
