Youth Ministry
"Train the young in the way they should go; even when old, they will not swerve from it." (PV 22:6)
“Teaching young people in the church to grow in their relationship with the Lord will prepare them to serve Christ in all they do. As a result, this nurtures the congregation and allows the church to flourish”.
Written by Lauren Abraham
We aid our youth to have a spiritual and practical relationship with the Church and God. As Pope Leo said in his digital conference:
"Giving our problems to Jesus is something we can do, we need to do, again and again. Each morning, we can invite him to be with us during the day. Each night we can talk with him about our day. And remember also Mary, the mother of Jesus and our mother. She understands what we go through, and she prays for us."
Youth are guided to a deeper relationship with God through meetings, activities, and our new leadership program.
