Youth Crusaders

St. Martha's youth Group "The crusaders" is geared to all the teenagers (13-18 yrs. old) in our community. We are an active group in the church, community, and in the archdiocese of Miami.  The crusaders were founded in June of 2003 and have participated in many activities to proclaim our Catholic faith. The crusaders are characterized for being a friendly, dynamic, energetic, and talented group of young people.  

In 2003 we have participated in Pier Ministries to strengthen our faith, at Youth Day supporting the Marlins at a home game, hosted a September 11th ceremony in remembrance of fallen heroes, volunteered at various church activities, visited St. Maria's retirement home, visited the Vatican Exhibit at Ft. Lauderdale's Museum of the Arts, and organized movie nights. Let's not forget that the crusaders also enjoy sporting activities and have also participated in Volleyball and Flag Football tournaments with other church youth groups.  

We are a self motivated group that has performed car washes and bake sales as fund raising methods to fund our activities and to assist the church.  The crusaders will like to have you join our fun, energetic, and active group.  We meet every Friday from  6:30-8:30 p.m. at the parish center.

We invite you to come and join the fun, here's a list of the events we've participated in:

   March 19th        Stations of the Cross and free soup and salad
   March 26th        What do I need to do to go to college
