Fundraising Opportunities for Youth and their Families
Our hope and prayer is for everyone to be able to come join us each summer on our trips, retreats and camps! We offer a variety of fundraising opportunities throughout the year for your family to raise money to offset the cost of the various events. Check back regularly for more information about how to sign up for these fundraisers! We will post information on how to sign up for these fundraisers as soon as they are available, but feel free to contact Gabby Ilkka the meantime with any questions!
After wrapping up a fundraiser, it may take up to three weeks to update our records to reflect the amount you earned, but feel free to shoot us an email anytime with any questions. Thank you for your patience and your participation in our youth ministry fundraisers!
Current Fundraising Opportunities:
Winterfest – February 3-4, 2024 (Click here for the sign up)
St. Michael Catholic Church is hosting a fun weekend, where the youth from STMA Catholic Youth Ministry are asked to help serve.
There are many different roles to be done in all the shifts. Some shifts listed below have descriptions of what you're signing up for. Some shifts are generic sign ups since there are many roles to be done and we will split you up into once you arrive. There may be some down time or jobs currently filled when you come, then you will be on call in the youth room with any needs that come up during your shift. Everyone who comes and is on call will earn funds for their youth ministry account.
*Adults if you sign up for for adults shifts, you will also earn funds for your childs account.
Make sure when you arrive that sign-in at the youth room prior to your shift.
Please only sign up for one shift to start. Once we are one week away and there are still open spots, then you are invited to sign up for more shifts.
Buy Stock in Youth Weekend 2024 (Click here for the sign up)
Buying Stock in Youth is a super easy fundraiser where we invite parishioners to pray for all of our youth and donate to assist them in attending summer ministry opportunities. Youth are invited to sign up for as many Masses as they can. The more Masses your child attends the more they will make in this fundraiser. Teens are not expected to to participate fully in each liturgy (but it's encouraged), however they need to be present before Mass to greet parishioners and at the end of each Mass to be present to collect donations and thank parishioners. During the Masses your child are not attending, they can hang out in the Youth Room during Mass.
We also need teens who are willing to give a short testimony with the parish how the Lord has youth ministry to impact your faith, so if you are willing or interested, please let us know!
Please plan on attending the entire time slot listed. You will be able to attend Mass during one of the shifts you sign up for.
You will be credited a percentage of what is raised. We will put money in your accounts by the end of April.
You will still need to check in at each mass with a Youth Minister/Intern in order to receive credit for participating in this fundraiser. Thank you!
Friendly City Days Parking Lot Fundraiser 2024 (Click here for sign up)
Come manage the sale of parking spots at one of the three parking lots at St. Albert's during Friendly City Days! Arrive five minutes before the start of your shift, wear comfortable shoes, bring your own camping chair (if you want), and bring a water bottle. Keep in mind that there is limited to no parking in the area, so plan on walking a distance or being dropped off for your shift. If you sign up for the first shift OR last shift of the day, plan on helping with set up OR take down signs, cones and canopy.
Adults 21yrs+: Please note that we have some day/evening shifts (for 21+). Scroll to the bottom of the screen to see the multiple pages of this sign up. The adult shifts are on page 2 and 3.
