Welcome to SDYG! We are so happy you’re here!
SDYG (Saint Dominic Youth Group) is our youth group serving all registered 9th-12th graders from local high schools. We host our weeklySDYG Nights on Sundays from 7:00 p.m. to 8:15 p.m. at Saint Dominic School. A typical SDYG Night consists of mingling with our teens as they arrive, sharing a meal together (when available), playing fun and active games, engaging in some sort of reflection (i.e Bible study, listening to witness talks, participating in small-group discussions, completing a service activity, etc.), and ending the night with prayer. We also love a good theme and any festivity around here, so if there is a chance to celebrate, we do! Whether it is ourHalloween party and chili cook-off, a Friendsgiving feast, or our Christmas party, we find God in it all! We also offer specialty events like retreats, The Pour Over: Coffee + Community Night when SDYG is transformed into a coffeeshop, and other events through the Diocese of Cleveland. Our hope and prayer is that SDYG is always a safe and welcoming space for our teens to be their fullest and truest selves as they encounter God and His unconditional love for them while building community to support them in just that.
We strive to uphold the Saint Dominic pillars of Worship, Serve, Learn, and Connect while also providing guidance in the Sacrament of Confirmation. In order for our teens to be Confirmed, all teens must be registered as part of our Saint Dominic Youth Group (SDYG). The Confirmation program and requirements are tied into our youth group program which is why we ask that all confirmandi are registered for SDYG. We offer a Confirmation series as part of our SDYG Nights that is intentionally designed to serve our teens making their Confirmation. During those specific SDYG Nights, we explore themes such as the saints, the role and character of the Holy Spirit, the origin of Confirmation, etc.
