The YOUNG AT HEART mission encourages friendships, fellowship and involvement in senior activities that advance member enrichment, entertainment, social and religious fulfillment. 

It started with six parishioners during 1986 for a once-in-awhile meal together.  Two hundred thirty two persons are now active members from our own parish and a few from neighboring parishes.  We still share meals but have other activities as well.

• We conduct a weekly Rosary via Zoom with voluntary member participation.  
• We meet in person monthly, all year long, for breakfast.  We start with First Friday Mass at 9:00 am, dedicated to the Sacred Heart, and then have breakfast afterward. 
• We host luncheons on the third Wednesday of each month from September through May. However, lunches do not occur during June, July, and August. 
• Both breakfast and lunch take place at our parish Ministry Center.  
• In August, we host a picnic in one of the area parks or an inside location.
• In addition, we go on trips occasionally, both near and far (no overnight trips). 
• We have a good blend of new and older members, age 55 and beyond.  Many have been long-time members and parishioners; equally, many are newer parishioners or friends of parishioners.  Overall, a comfortable mix of both married and single folks as well. 
• There isn’t any expectation of attendance at events.  Members come and go as their calendars allow. We do not take attendance or charge dues. 
• All YOUNG AT HEART activities are announced through email or phone messages, in the weekly parish bulletin, or on our parish WEB page.
