St. Mary’s Actively Religious Teens (S.M.A.R.T.) is a group for young people in grades 8 through 12.  We are planning to begin again with religious meetings, charitable work activities, and fun trips.

Each month, the group alternates between a service project and a social activity. Past service projects include a winter coat drive, doing painting and cleaning around the parish property, shopping for an “adopted family” at Christmas, and a “youth auction,” in which teens assist elderly parishioners with house or yard work. Social activities include laser tag, tubing on the Esopus Creek, hiking several times a year, and a trip to Dorney Park. In order to take part in the social activities, teens must take part in the spiritual meetings or the service projects.
