YOUTH
DISCIPLESHIP
Faith is not one size fits all. Jesus came so that we can have our own personal relationship with Him! Youth Discipleship creates opportunities for teens to discover who Jesus is and how to develop that relationship. Growth happens through prayer, service, and small group interactions. Teens will have a chance to ask questions about their faith and learn how to live out their mission of being a disciple of Jesus Christ.

“ Everyone can experience the joy and blessing of generosity; because everyone has something to give.”
– Jan Grace
As Catholics, we are called to be disciples of Christ. We believe service encompasses both prayer and action, emphasizing charity and social justice. It is about continuing the mission of Jesus by recognizing the dignity of every person, especially the last, the lost, the least, and the lonely. By giving ourselves the gift of time to help others, we are really helping ourselves experience remarkable life-changing moments.
Acts of Service:
-
Strengthen our faith by allowing us to live out our faith in the world by actively engage with our faith through our brothers and sisters in Christ.
-
Demonstrates God's love in tangible ways for us and others.
-
Deepens our understanding of God's plan for us by helping us become more aware of our role in fulfilling God's will.
