There are a number of ways for teenagers to get involved at St. Simon’s.

Junior Youth: For Kids in Grades 6 to 8

During the COVID-19 pandemic our youth were unable to meet.  We are currently rebuilding that program.  If you know of young people interested in participating please contact admin@stsimon.ca

Senior Youth: Grades 9 to 12

Confirmation

The Christian practice of Confirmation a time for those in grade 9 and up to have a guided discussion around issues of faith that are important to young people.

Along with exploring the basics of what we believe, we also talk about how to relate to people of different faiths, how to relate to people around us, and why there is evil and suffering in the world. This is a year-long program of substance, grounded in a fun and interactive learning style.

Contact admin@stsimon.ca if you know of a youth interested in confirmation.

Mission Trips

In the summers of 2009, 2011, 2013, 2015, 2017, and 2019 St. Simon’s led mission trips to Holy Cross Anglican School in Belize. For more information about the school, please go to http://holycrossbelize.org/.

We feel the mission trip is a time of partnership with our youth and with the people of Holy Cross. The goal for our mission trips is to show the love of Christ in practical ways that make tangible differences in people’s lives. Our aim is also to allow God to work in us through the residents and workers of Holy Cross, so that together we can be God’s hands in our world.

St. Simon’s also supports the initiatives of the Diocese of Niagara’s Youth Ministry and encourages youth and their parents to explore Generation, the voice of Canadian Anglican Youth Ministry since June 2006.
