Youth Ministry
Our Mission: It is our hope that the youth of our community will live lives characterized by moral and spiritual courage, holiness of heart and life, and the ability to think critically and act upon the issues facing their generation.
We plan to accomplish this by involving youth in:
I. Social Activities
Youth Fellowship, youth rally, lock-in retreats, parties, camping trips, movie nights, bowling, volleyball & basketball tournaments.
II. Spiritual Events
We promote and encourage attendance at our annual District events. We provide transportation; send chaperones, full insurance coverage and supplement cost so that our youth may attend.
- Youth Day (Anaheim Convention)
- SCRC (Anaheim Convention)
- Rosary Rally (Rose Bowl Pasadena)
- Beach Day
Youth ministry, at its best, is characterized by the following five hallmarks:
- Discipleship
- Connection
- Giftedness and growth
- Comprehensiveness
- Entire church (parish) involvement
Three goals of an effective ministry with young people:
- 1 .To empower young people to live as disciples of Jesus Christ in our world today.
- 2. To draw young people to responsible participation in the life, mission, and work of the Catholic faith community.
- 3. To foster the total personal and spiritual growth of each young person.
Come be a part of our growing Youth Ministry…
