Other opportunities and resources for youth…

Tough Topics

Visit www.toughtopics.life to experience the Tough Topics program. T2 was created by St. John’s Youth Ministry as a free resource to educate and encourage youth when engaging in difficult conversations about complicated cultural issues. Learn the truth about gender identity, abortion, and same sex attraction – then speak it with love. 

CYO Sports

St. John participates in the Arlington Diocese’ CYO program.  Youth who attend St. John Academy or are enrolled in religious education may play on one of our boys’ or girls’ teams.  Basketball is offered from November – March, and Girls’ Volleyball takes place in the spring semester.  Contact Michael for more information: mjacobeen@stjohncatholicmclean.org
