What is Youth Ministry?
Reaching out to youth, guiding them, and providing opportunities for them at St. Patrick Parish helps them grow personally, emotionally, and spiritually.
One goal of Youth Ministry is to provide a variety of opportunities for youth in grades 7th-College that will connect them to the life of the parish, and hopefully, to their faith.
Youth choose what they like and what fits in to their hectic schedules.
In 2005/2006, we sponsored a junior high Holiday World Trip, a high school Mission Trip to Nazareth Farm, a high school/adult Play Production, and participated in the CSAA High School basketball team with 36 young men participating.
We haven’t forgotten our college aged young adults. The last two years the college students served the poor in Appalachia at Nazareth Farm, and were invited back to the parish for the annual Holiday Homecoming at Christmas time.
But this ever-growing ministry can only offer more if we have more adult volunteers stepping forward. A large % of our parishioners are under the age of 18.
I’m currently trying to build a Junior High Planning Team to offer activities for those in the middle school years. I have several interested adults, but we need more.
