Vision of Youth Ministry

As it is the mission of our faith and cluster parish, centered in the Eucharist, the youth will grow in

their faith and use their gifts in serving their peers, their families, the parish, community and

Church. With the foundation of leadership, Catechesis, and recognition of their gifts and

talents the youth will live as a disciple of Jesus; they will participate fully in the life, mission, and

work of the Catholic family; and will grow spiritually in the context of his/her whole life.

 

“The youth are not the future church, they

ARE the church.”

Pope John Paul II
