Youth Ministry

Young Disciples Exploring Christ; Growing in Christ; and Becoming Christ Centered

All youth of the parish between the ages of 6 to 18 are invited to participate in scheduled spiritual, community, and social gatherings geared towards youth in the appropriate age groups that promotes a Catholic, Christian life. Gatherings for our Middle School and Elementary Youth will be scheduled that will help our young children explore Christ in a way to grow closer to Him and to begin a new journey of growing in Christ. We are continuing to form young disciples of Christ to make a difference. We hope to enable them to contribute and share their gifts and talents and also to experience the chance to serve others through acts of service, ministry and love of God and one another. Our journey is to explore Christ, to grow in Christ, to be close to Christ and to become Christ Centered. Please encourage our youth to be a part of this wonderful chance to be themselves, to be who God created them to be! We are also calling our High School Youth to help facilitate these gatherings.
