Youth Programs
The vitality and contributions of the young people of this parish truly reflect the spirit and mission of the Church.
Pictures on the parish house bulletin board tell the story of young people moving from childhood through adolescence to the beginnings of young adulthood. Through their involvement in the programs listed here, they form lasting friendships, find adults they can turn to for guidance, and further their personal search for the Christ who will guide their lives.
