The Comprehensive Youth Ministry Program offers the young people of our parish many different opportunities to experience church. The goal is to encourage youths to make a shift from their own teen community to a comprehensive model that brings teens more fully into the life of the Parish. The core of Youth Ministry is relationships — therefore, by expanding the scope of our program, we need more adults and young adults to come forward and be trained for this ministry to succeed.
