Core Team 2022-2023

​Who We Are:
We on CORE Team are committed to serving our parish through our own relationship with Christ and planning and running Youth Events through out the year to lead others closer to Christ.  CORE is open to both male and female adults as well as 10th-12th grade students.  10th-12th graders are able to be part of leading our middle school boys and girls groups. 

COMMITTED TO A PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD
As members of Core Team, we are dedicated to maintaining our personal relationship with God through daily prayer, personally seeking out the sacraments regularly, and striving for virtue in our daily lives.

​COMMITTED TO THE CATHOLIC CHURCH
We are Catholic and proud of it! Core Team members are dedicated to not just doing the bare minimum, but in attending Mass multiple times a week, studying the teachings of the Church, monthly confession and more!

COMMITTED TO MINISTRY
Core Team members specifically are called to love and reach out to other youth in our community, especially those younger. We plan and lead events, build friendships with younger teens and our peers, doing our best to be the role models showing an example of what it means to be a teenager following Christ in our complicated world.

​COMMITTED TO EVANGELIZING OUR WORLD
On Core Team, we are dedicated to answering the universal call to evangelize the world. In school, on social media, in our friendships, sports teams, and families, we strive to let our lives be a witness of God's love to those around us.

COMMITTED TO LOVING ONE ANOTHER
We are a family on Core Team. Nobody is perfect, and we all need forgiveness. In D-Groups, at Core Team meetings and in our daily lives, we strive to be there for each other. Love is a choice and a sacrifice, not just a feeling... and that is how we are committed to live.

"Blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked, nor stand in the way of sinners, nor sit in the company of scoffers.  Rather, the law of the Lord is his joy; and on his law he meditates day and night.  He is like a tree planted near streams of water that yields its fruit in season; It's leaves never wither; whatever he does prospers."  -Psalm 1:1-3
