Youth REGISTRATION

The 2025 Defiance Y.E.S. project begins Thursday, June 5th at 5:30 p.m.  Incoming 8th grade students through graduating seniors are encouraged to join us for this weekend service retreat. This will give you opportunities to make new friends from throughout Defiance and the surrounding area, have some great fun, grow in faith and be the hands and feet of Christ in your community!  This 3-day rewarding experience will call beautiful Camp Lakota home for 3 days, and close with 5:00 p.m. Mass on Saturday, June 7th at St John’s Catholic Church. Registration forms are available through Renee Kelch @419.236.4006 or rkelch@stjohndefiance.org. Invite your friends because the opportunities are endless, and the reward is eternal!
