YOUTH MINISTRY
6TH TO 12TH GRADE STUDENTS
ENCOUNTER Faith + Community
A good faith foundation isn’t built up for someday in the future, just in case you might need it.
It’s meant to be lived out now, practiced and integrated into the ordinary moments of our everyday lives.
We aim to create a space for youth to encounter Jesus and boldly live their Catholic faith
— feeling supported, valued, and inspired to lead connected, faith-filled lives as lifelong disciples.
Our vision is to help teens live out their faith everywhere — not just at church, but in their homes,
friendships, teams, and schools. We want them to follow Jesus as real disciples, sharing their faith
and finding meaning and purpose through every season of life.
"I have come that you may have life, and have it more abundantly.” John 10:10
