WHY DO WE HAVE YOUTH GROUP?

To help our youth realize that they are NOT the future Church, but the Church NOW! Our goals are:

• empower our young people to live as disciples of Jesus
  Christ in their everyday lives.
• draw young people to a thoughtful participation in the life, mission & work of the faith community.
• to foster the personal & spiritual growth of each young
  person.

WHY COME TO YOUTH GROUP?

• To experience Jesus in friends and strangers
• To experience the Holy Spirit in acts of social justice and charity
• To experience God at retreats, in Scripture reflection, prayer and liturgy
• To develop an understanding of why we are called Catholic
