Get Involved!!
Elementary
All parishes aree unique; they all have varying characteristics and cultures. Throughout the year, beginning in Advent, our parish little ones enjoy the Feast of St. Nicholas , the annual Easter Egg Hunt and for grades K5 - 6 Vacation Bible School. In the Fall, the young ones get to dress up for our Halloween Boo Bash. These and other events provide our youth opportunities to grow deeper in their faith and be with other kids in their age group.
Middle School and High School
Middle School and High School youth have many opportunities to connect with their peers in youthgroup meetings throughout the school year (Sunday evening at 6:00 PM) as well as various retreats sponsored by the Diocese of Charleston.
Such highlights in the year include the- January Stand Up for Life Rally in Columbia, SC,
- High School Youth Retreat.
- The Diocese also sponsors the Middle and High school age Summer Camps as well leadership training opportunities.
- On many occasions, we have joined hundreds of other Christians for Carowinds Family Day during the Summer months and enjoyed Mass with the Bishop, as well as a huge picnic lunch!
In October, the parish sponsors the local Stand Up for Life Rally in Greenwood. It is an opportunity to let your presence be known along Montague Ave. to prayerfully and quietly support a Culture of Life, from natural conception to natural death. Also, the Junior High Youth Retreat occurs in November.
