Youth Ministry 2020: What to Expect

The truth is that 80% of Catholics are no longer Catholic by the time they turn 23.  We are committed to building a dynamic Catholic community that will assist our kids in this world that is diametrically opposed to Christ and His Church. The Catechism says that parents are FIRST educators in the Faith. We want to partner with each family in passing on the treasure of our Catholic Faith in a compelling way.  

This year may look a little different than in years past, but we believe we have a unique opportunity to refocus our ministries and to be creative and innovative in how we support families and reach teens this year! 

That said, this year we will meet on Wednesday evenings at 6:30pm. Once a month we will meet as a large group,  each teen bringing their own Bible, snacks, water and chairs, etc. The other three weeks we split up into Fraternus (guys) and Fidelis (girls) groups by age/grade. Each group will have two adult mentors assigned to journey with that group throughout the year. The small groups will be a place for community and formation using the Bible and the Catechism, lives of the saints and media to catechize and disciple our teens.
