About our youth program:

St. Patrick's, Christ Church (Bay St. Louis), St. Thomas (Diamondhead) and St. Peter's By-the-Sea (Gulfport) youth groups are now meeting together. Jr. and Sr. EYC meet weekly throughout the school year. Jr. High EYC is for grades 6-8. Sr. High EYC is for grades 9-12.  Andrew McLarty is our  Youth Minister for EYC. Andrew is a teacher at Coast Episcopal School, Long Beach. He is assisted by Erin Dyson.

EYC regular meetings are at 5:00 PM on Sundays at St. Thomas in Diamondhead. A meal is provided at 5, then the two groups (Jr and Sr) are led in seperate activities. Make plans to be there!
