Youth Ministry Reflection

After a month and change of youth ministry, the foundation of a healthy addition to our Parish has been laid. With the meeting of confirmation groups, the youth group continues to move towards a Parish that more successfully retains our youth. Personally, it has been nothing but constant reflection, growth and fulfillment. Even in the moments of stress that may occur I know I have been given all the resources and people I could need or want to succeed. To attempt to describe my gratitude for the Parish, Transitional Committee, and Father David and of course, the youth that attends would be impossible. The support, love and prayers are beyond words. Thus, though I may not be able to express my thanks through words, I certainly will demonstrate it with my actions.

For those curious – our group tends to meet on Sundays. We’re working on some ideas for Christmas, such as a Christmas Tea and an Advent Wreath. The group is open to ideas and suggestions. Our group is looking to further connect with our Parish and would love ideas. ~Kenneth Fury
