St. Richard and Side By Side Youth Ministries have been partnering for the past two years and have recently made St. Richard's Catholic Church an official mission site. Side By Side offers programming for youth ministry in areas that do not have enough resources. One of the programs being offered through St. Richard is Teens in Mission. TiM is a high school ministry that stresses the importance of service. It teaches youth how Christ can work in all forms of service that we do in our everyday lives.

If you or someone you know has questions about the Side By Side/St. Richard partnership, please feel free to contact Director of Faith Formation Susie Osacho.
 

Here is an explanation of how the partnership between St. Richard and SBS Youth Ministries began, along with an Authorization to Share Information for those youth interested in participating .
