Sacred Heart Youth Group
Sacred Heart Youth Group is open to all students in grades 8 - 12. It is an opportunity to come together to form their own community within our parish, yet to feel a part of Sacred Heart Church. The group meets once per month on the 3rd Sunday evening for social as well as spiritual activities. Our youth are encouraged to participate in our many outreach programs which are supported through volunteer hours and fundraising. The youth ministry also gives back to the parish with their gifts of time and talent. Activities are planned by our youth ministry team. Youth of all faiths are welcome. |

Catholic Youth Organization Basketball (CYO)
Sacred Heart CYO basketball is a program which is both instructional and competitive for parish children who attend Faith Formation ranging from 3rd through 8th grade. The children have weekly practices in the Sage school gym and play a competitive schedule against other catholic parishes in Bergen County. All participants must be registered and attend faith formation classes at Sacred Heart Church, with tuition paid in full. We are looking to fill team levels 3/4 through varsity HS. There is no guarantee that there will be a team for some age groups. All depends on how many register. |
