Youth Ministry
Why join SJN Youth Ministry?
1
Faith Formation
Our youth ministry helps teens grow closer to Christ through engaging discussions, interactive activities, prayer, and Eucharistic Adoration. We explore the Catholic faith in ways that connect to everyday life, encouraging teens to ask questions, deepen their relationship with God, and discover how to live out their faith with confidence.
2
Fun & Fellowship
Youth ministry is also about building friendships and having fun! Teens can enjoy volleyball, basketball, and plenty of other games and activities in our youth room. Whether it's friendly competition or simply hanging out with friends, we strive to create a welcoming environment where everyone feels included and builds lasting friendships.
3
Trips & Events
Our youth ministry goes beyond our weekly gatherings with exciting trips, retreats, conferences, and special events throughout the year! From attending Steubenville Youth Conferences and NCYC to participating in field trips, service opportunities, and other fun outings, we want to give teens unforgettable experiences.

Meet your Youth Minister
My name is Justin Bushey and I am a husband, father of two daughters, and someone with a passion for sharing the faith and helping others grow closer to Christ. After working as a certified arborist, I felt called to pursue a life in ministry. I am currently studying Theology at Saint Joseph’s College of Maine and serve in both youth and young adult ministry.
In my free time, I enjoy cooking, BBQ, and spending time with my family. Some of my favorite saints are St. Maximilian Kolbe, St. Charbel, and Blessed Fulton J. Sheen.
