Youth Group
The days are getting longer and our Youth Group is feeling the energy! Here are some of the things the youth are doing:
Covenant House Sleep Out
Friday, April 19-Saturday, April 20
Kincaid Park
This overnight event raises awareness of youth homelessness and funds for Covenant House, which provides a safe place to sleep for 200 young people every night. Participants can come for the evening events, or stay overnight. Youth staying overnight must have a parent or guardian to stay with them, a warm sleeping bag, a four-season tent, and warm winter clothes. Click the link below to join the St. Mary's team!

St. Mary's Youth Group/Alaska Theatre of Youth Art Expo:
Happily Ever After Performance and Art Exhibition
7 pm Friday, May 10
3 pm Saturday, May 11
St. Mary's Sanctuary (performance)
& Classroom 2 (art exhibition)
Calling artists and art appreciators! Join us for a weekend Art Expo in support of St. Mary’s Youth Group and Alaska Theatre of Youth, featuring ATY’s production workshop performance of Happily Ever After followed by an art exhibition featuring local artists, with select works available for purchase. Proceeds from art and bake sale purchases will go to support the Youth Group trip to Colombia, scholarships for underprivileged youth to attend ATY classes, and Alaska’s first fully youth-led theater production. Both the show and gallery are pay-what-you-can at the door and are perfect for the whole family.
Please reserve your seat to the performance in advance at alaskatheatreofyouth.org. If you are a student who would like to feature your work in the gallery, please email Emily Brown or text her at (907) 615-7504.
