Pier's Charism
When your teen joins Summit, the aim is to instill in them the charisms of Blessed Pier Giorgio Frassati. That means we want to instill in your teen a deep respect and love for others.
We want to show them how to care about people, share their faith with them, and lead them closer to Mary and Jesus.
In short, when your teen finishes Summit, our hope is that people will say the same thing about them, that Justine says about Pier in the video:"We remember him because he lives for something higher, something greater, and that is God."

The Higher We Go...
Summit is the name of SJN's Youth Ministry program. its named in reference to a quote from Pier Giorgio Frassati where he says:
"The Higher we go, the clearer we shall hear the voice of Christ!"
Summit meets ordinarily on Sunday's from 6-8:30PM with dinner included and focuses on how we as people relate to God and how we relate to each other. These nights are then supported by various social nights such as game night, and messy games. Trips such as Hershey Park, the Beach Trip, and bowling. As well as spiritual experiences like Kairos, Steubenville, Adoration, and Fan the Fire.
Summit helps take your teen higher, so that they can hear the voice of Christ clearer. You can connect with Summit as a teen or parent below:

The Clearer we shall hear
Apex is the name of the teens in Summit who feel called to be a part of the leadership team. The apex of a mountain is the top of the mountain, the highest you can go. Apex is for teens who feel called to live out the mission to serve and love others in a more direct way like Giorgio Pier did during his life.
Below is the creed by which Apex members live and act. It is designed to both help serve the members of Summit Youth Ministry, as well as increase a teen's ability to follow in the footsteps of Pier Giorgio Frassati. If interested in having your teen apply, please email Nate at ngulya@sjnlancaster.org

serving Summit
Summit is a Parish function which means it requires help from the Parish and cannot survive on its own.
There are three main ways you can serve in Summit:
1. Core Team: This is the group of adults that help on a regular basis with Sunday Night events. A deeper description can be found here.
2. Meal Preparation: Summit shares dinner together each Sunday as one of the way of building love and community between teens. At times parents generously help to provide that meal. If you are open to that, please fill out the form to the left and you will be contacted about the current need.
3. Prayer Team: Summit requires prayer support from the parish. We ask our prayer team to support Summit, Apex, the Core Team, and teens of the Parish through prayer. You can find more details here.
To sign up for any of these please see the form to the left and you will be contacted.
