FOCUS

The focus of the Youth Group Ministries is on guiding our youth as they walk the path to spirituality, with emphasis on modeling the love and compassion demonstrated by Jesus Christ in the Gospel.  The ultimate outcome will be a closer relationship with God through a deeper understanding of the Catholic Faith.

The Youth Group is comprised of teen parishioners attending high school.   We have also recently established a Junior High Youth Ministry for 7th and 8th graders.  Teens and preteens are given the opportunities of Faith renewal, through bible studies and faith sharing; Fellowship, in involvement in various parish, civic and ecumenical projects; Fun, in participating in a variety of social activities. 

COME JOIN US FOR FAITH, FELLOWSHIP AND FUN!
