    involved in their parishes, and youth ministry
    gives them the opportunity to share their talents
    with their whole parish and to help build their
    faith even more.

  • I was making all the homeless people happy and
    laughing and then I realized, Hey, Im doing
    something good for a change! Maybe I could do
    this all the time. So I started going to the
    youth ministry a little more and a little more,
    and here I am.
  • Youth

15
  • And it was really amazing how God let
  • me be my own kind of leader. There was
  • this girl there and she was crying every
  • night because she didnt feel like she fit in
  • so I would sit with her at lunch and I would talk
    with her. It was really amazing how
  • God let me be a leader in my own way
  • in just helping other people.
  • Youth

  • Creator God, we will need all
  • of our resources to build up
  • our young people, allowing
  • them to grow in confidence and grace.

    growth
  • and contributions.

    they are, and what
  • they are, and what they dream,
  • and what they think matters.
  • Parish Staff Member

19
  • I think youth ministry in this
  • community is at the heart of
  • what we do as a parish.
  • Pastor
