Welcome!
If you are a middle or high school student, then you belong in St. Peter Youth Group. We are a community of 6th-12th graders and volunteer adults who seek to learn, to serve, and to grow in faith and in relationship with Jesus Christ and one another. We do a mix of social events, service, fundraising, catechesis, and large group retreats and conferences. Regular weekly meetings are on Wednesday nights with special events about twice a month on Sunday afternoons.
For our high schoolers we offer a weekend retreat in November, the diocesan Catholic Youth Celebration in March, and the Steubenville Northwest Conference in July. Both MS and HS are a part of the Fiesta Brunch in December, Cheeseballs in February, Laser Tag All-Nighter, and weekly smaller meetings and outings.
Contact Michelle at moresky@dioceseofspokane.org for more information, to get a teen involved, or if you are interested in volunteering or otherwise supporting our ministry.
Wednesday night meetings resume October 2nd, 6:30-8:00pm in the Youth Room at St. Peter. Come for the pizza, stay for the community.
Meet the Youth Minister:
Michelle Oresky is the Director of Youth Ministry and Sacramental Preparation at St. Peter Parish. In addition, she is a teacher at Trinity Catholic School in Spokane, teaching mostly 8th grade as well as 7th grade & 3rd grade Religion classes. She is originally from Virginia, moved to Spokane in 2013, and worked for 5 years as a structural engineer prior to making the switch to teaching. When she's not working either of her 1-1/2 jobs, she likes to read, knit, do crossword puzzles, and have long conversations about things that matter. She loves the Green Bay Packers, Atlanta Braves, and Detroit Red Wings. She does not like basketball, though she once coached a team of 6th-8th grade girls to a league championship. At St. Peter, Michelle can often be found barefoot in the Chapel, pledging to finally clean her office (for real this time!), or hiding in the Youth Room to actually get some work done. Her dog Gretzky - an impossibly cute and sweet, big, furry mutt - sometimes accompanies her and sheds all over the aforementioned messy office.
