Youth Commission
The mission of the Youth Commission is to ensure Catholic teaching and Christian fellowship by promoting social, service, spiritual, and educational gatherings for the parish youth community, as well as service opportunities. The commission makes recommendations for Christian youth programs and works in conjunction with the Youth Director to ensure the teaching of Catholic beliefs and values, while deepening a lifelong religious formation. This mission also calls youth to realize the power of community and service.
Ministries
Youth Core Teams
The middle school has a program that focuses on 6th, 7th and 8th grade middle school students as they navigate their way through these tender years. Assisted by the Youth Director, a core team of volunteers, with a love of this age group, guides children through exciting and creative Bible study and fellowship. Contact Frank Mendez.
Life Teen (Grades 9-12) is a ministry to high school youth, directed by staff Youth Director, assisted by another core team of volunteers who have a love of youth. The core team guides the teens by faith sharing, skits, dramas, social outings and other educational fun activities. The time commitment is the same as for the Edge program, as these two teams of youth workers meet together for prayer and brainstorming. Core team is a great way for young adults to get involved on Sunday mornings. Contact Anthony Hofius.
Youth Support Team
The Support Team is the way for parents to get involved. These volunteers offer support for all aspects of ensuring the quality of programming for both Life Teen and Edge. These may include socials, trips, retreats, etc. They model a Christian lifestyle and are committed to prayer.
Sports – Youth
