BUILDING RELATIONSHIPS Youth Ministry is built on the relationships between Jesus, the student and other members of our parishes. These relationships began at baptism and nourished in the Eucharist. All activities are to help these relationships grow and bear fruit by supporting the wonderful relationship the Lord has forged in their lives with parents, grandparents, confirmation sponsors, catechists and other members of our faith community. These activities supplement the students’ experience of Jesus in the Eucharist and in their primary Catechetical programs. |
