The DTS motto, “Mortuum Mundo – Vivum in Christo” is Latin for “Dead to the World – Alive in Christ” This is inspired by Romans 6:11 where St. Paul tells us to be dead to sin and alive in Christ Jesus. The Saints we study are alive in Christ forever. DTS members seek to always become more alive in Christ through their Catholic faith and “dead” to the negative influences of the world.

Our Chapter of DTS at St. Mary's meets every second Friday of the month (Sept. to May) from 7:00 pm to 9:30 pm in the school hall.  It is open to high school age students. Join us for prayer, study, food, and fun!

There are several blessed results DTS has born in the lives of their parish teens and young adults such as:

• Increased Mass attendance among teen and college-age population
• Vocations to religious life and/or a life of service
• Increased pre-Confirmation enthusiasm and post-Confirmation attendance at Mass and youth/parish activities
• Increased interest in young people participating in parish life, service and other ministries
• Increased reception of the Sacraments, especially Communion and Confession
• Increased faith formation and a deeper prayer life
