LifeTeen
Life Teen allows our teenagers to grow in faith and leads them closer to Christ through fellowship, fun, and Catechesis. We do this by gathering every 1st and 3rd Saturday in the parish hall with delicious dinners, games and talks. As well offer annual winter retreats and social events.
All high school teens in grades 9-12 are welcomed!

Ultimate Frisbee:
Every summer, parishes from all across the archdiocese get together for an Ultimate Frisbee tournament. This is open to all students grades 9-12, current grade 8s going into grade 9 are welcomed!
Whether you would like to join the team and represent our parish in the tournament, or just come out to meet people and have fun, you’re guaranteed to have a time! (we usually have freezies/popsicles at the end of each practice)
Stay tuned for when the 2025 season will begin.
Congratulations to our 2024 team (St. Isaac Jogues and Holy Family Whitby) on their win at the Catholic Ultimate Frisbee Festival that was held in Caledon on August 10, 2024!
