This initiative is meant to provide teens who participate in our youth ministry with an opportunity to grow more concretely in leadership and responsibility through their commitment to Jesus Christ, one another, their ministry, their parish, and their Catholic faith. Teens will acquire leadership skills for ministry and for life, which are grounded in faith in Jesus and in accordance with the teachings of His Church. This way they can become men and women who live and lead with Christian integrity and love.
