Covid-19

​

Northside Catholic Youth Ministry is blessed to provide in-person ministry for youth. We pray for all who have suffered because of Covid-19 and the decisions made by authorities to shut down schools, churches, and businesses. In our return to in-person ministry, we aim to provide a safe space for youth to grow in community with each other and in their relationship with God. That said, there remains a risk to participating in in-person activities. Participants knowingly and voluntarily assume this risk associated with participation.

​​

For those who are not comfortable participating in-person at this time, we respect that decision. Last spring, we hosted virtual bible studies and we encourage those interested to reach out to us to form a group.

​

We ask that families and youth self-screen before attending any in-person activities. See below for self-screening questions.​

Self-Screening

​

3. Has your youth been in close contact with anyone with suspected or confirmed COVID-19?
