High Schoolers: Join Us for Witness Wednesdays!

High Schoolers: Join us for Witness Wednesdays! Alongside teens from both St. Wenceslaus and St. Stephen the Martyr, we will spend time together learning from powerful witnesses to our faith, diving into the Bible, exploring how to live our faith in the world, and spending time in front of the Blessed Sacrament allowing God to love us and answer that love with praise & worship. 

Witness Wednesdays are every Wednesday (unless noted differently below) from 8-9:30 PM and the location rotates between St. Stephen the Martyr and St. Wenceslaus. Snacks and drinks are provided, except on Adoration evenings.

Witness Wednesdays gives you four unique experiences of our Catholic faith each month:

  • 1st Wednesdays at St. Wenceslaus
    • Scripture Study Nights: Dive into Scripture and discover your place in His Word.
  • 2nd Wednesdays at St. Stephen the Martyr
    • Testimony Nights: Hear from a witness of the faith to learn how to align your life with God’s will.
  • 3rd Wednesdays at St. Wenceslaus
    • Eucharistic Adoration Night: Witness the real presence of Jesus as we pray in our hearts and praise with our voices together in worship.
  • 4th Wednesdays at St. Stephen the Martyr
    • Be Real Nights: Explore Catholic Social Teaching and other relevant topics to help us become witnesses of Christ’s love to our wider community and each other.
  • 5th Wednesdays
    • If there is a 5th Wednesday in the month, it will be a social evening gathering. The location will be announced that month.

We can’t wait to grow closer to Jesus as a community. All teens are welcome, so please bring your friends!

“This retreat is truly something extraordinary. One of my favorite parts (even though it’s so hard to choose just one) was on Friday night. A candlelit midnight Mass amidst a bonfire in the woods, surrounded by the quiet beauty of God’s creation, feels like a once-in-a-lifetime grace. I have never beheld the Lord so clearly as He helped me to in those moments. God’s love is so beautiful and profound and personal, and this retreat is a special window into understanding it and all of His profound graces He desires to share with us.”

-Lucy

“I had an amazing experience on this year’s retreat because I was gifted with so many graces. Whether it was being off my phone for a weekend and just hanging out with my friends, or celebrating midnight mass at a bonfire, or playing sand volleyball, or having a two hour adoration, I could tell that God was truly present on this retreat. I realized how important it is to stop and take time to enjoy God’s gifts that he provides for us instead of getting caught up in the things that we can’t control.

-Peter

“I went to the SSWYM retreat last year and this year.  I didn’t think anything could top last year, but this year definitely did! The retreat is just such an amazing experience. Adoration, Confession, and the candlelit Midnight Mass were so freeing-I was truly emptied of myself and filled with God’s joy and peace. The connections I made with others who want to grow in their relationship with God is another grace that is so special to me.”
