"The most effective catechetical program for adolescents are integrated into a comprehensive program of pastoral ministry for youth that includes catechesis, community life, evangelization, justice and service, leadership development, pastoral care, and prayer and worship. Such programs aim to empower young people to live as disciples of Jesus Christ in our world today; to draw young people to responsible participation in the life, mission, and work of the Catholic faith community; and to foster the total personal and spiritual growth of each young person." (National Directory for Catechesis, p. 201)
Our Youth Ministry is characterized by these hallmarks:
Discipleship--empowering them to live as disciples of God.
Connection--draw them to participate in the life, mission, and work of the Catholic faith community.
Giftedness and Growth--to foster the total personal and spiritual growth of each young person; encourage them to use their talents to share the message of Jesus Christ.
Entire Parish Involvement--its more than programs and events. It is the response of the Christian community to the needs of our youth. It is also sharing the unique gifts of the youth with the community!
