"IMPACT" is our high school youth ministry and is held on Sundays from 6:00 p.m. until 7:30 p.m. in room 20 on the second floor of St. Charles School (located at 80 W. 5th Street in Peru, Indiana). The letters of "IMPACT" stand for: Igniting and Motivating a Powerful Assembly of Catholic Teenagers! St. Charles' IMPACT is a group of Catholic youth that meet regularly to share their faith, stories, and life – to the degree that each teen feels comfortable. We have fun with games, food and laughter -- and come together as one body of Christ to share, to learn, to be challenged, and to build up our faith so that we can make an impact for Christ. All are welcome! You don't have to be Catholic to join our group.
The main goal is to grow deeper in our relationship with God and one another as we continue to cultivate our understanding of who we are and who God is calling us to be. Snacks, fun activities, and more await teens on Sunday evenings. St. Charles youth are always welcome to bring friends and toss out new ideas for activities and topics. IMPACT is lead by Paul Staso and Amy Darland. Be sure to check out our weekly church bulletin and our social media accounts for current information and schedules regarding our high school youth ministry program, and join our Flocknote Community for emails and texts!
