Our youth and adults spent the last week of June serving on a mission trip in West Virginia. It certainly was a life-changing experience for all, and it wouldn’t have been possible without the support of our entire parish! Click for more photos of our 2023 trip!

   If ever the phrase “Choose Joy” had meaning, it would be in Christ the King’s Youth Ministry mission trip to Elkview,  West Virginia. On June 19, 30 youth and adults left from Saint Scholastica Church. We headed to Elkview, West Virginia, on a mission trip, to help the poor and needy.   It is difficult to put into words how powerful this trip was for all who attended. Our intention was to help those in need by painting indoors and outdoors, or by building a new front porch, or spending time talking with the homeowners. As we gathered in the evenings to recap the day, it was amazing to hear the pride in the voices of the youth and adults when they were telling their stories. I would consider this trip a success!    It is however, important to thank those of you who supported us financially and through prayer. Without your support and kind generosity this trip could not happen.  As we prepare for next year’s trip I would like to extend an invitation to the youth and adults of our area to join us in this endeavor. Please feel free to contact Meredith Troyan at 412-963-8885 ex 106 for further information. Thank you and may God bless you!

Hi my name is Meredith Troyan and I am the Youth Minister for the grouping. I have been in Youth Ministry for 6 years. Prior to that , I was a substitute teacher for the Diosese of Pittsburgh and also taught middle school for a year. I have a Bachelor's Degree in Educational Studies from Chatham University. I am currently working on my Masters Degree in Theology at Franciscan University of Steubenville. 
Working with the teens in this grouping has been a wonderful experience. I hope to meet more of the teens throughout the years. It is my hope to help your children develop a deeper faith once their traditional formation is complete. I hope to share my love of the Lord with them through service activites, Bible Studies and other events held throughout the year. Please feel free to reach out to me at any time. 

Youth Ministry is a group for Middle School (6th-8th grade) and High School (9th-12th Grade) students to deepen their faith in Christ through service and scripture. Our mission is also to help encounge teens to build a lasting relationship with Christ and reinforce that their faith does not end with Confirmation. 

During the school year we will be working with Life Teen a Catholic Youth Ministry Program that promotes a strong relationship with God. Their mission is:

As a Eucharist-centered movement within the Roman Catholic Church, Life Teen leads teenagers and their families into a deeper relationship with Jesus Christ and His Church. With the Blessed Virgin Mary as our intercessor and guide, Life Teen seeks to unleash the fullness of the Sacramental power present within the young Church.
