Dear Youth & Parents:

Welcome! Our goal is to help you, our parish youth and parents, to answer a few important questions.

• Can I live a Catholic life and still have a life?

• Is  the Catholic faith really relevant and practical for me in this modern world that I live in?

• Why did God create me and what did He create me to be, a husband & father or wife & mother, a consecrated religious brother or sister, or a priest?

If you can already answer these questions, we still want you to come, and help build up this awesome Church we’re a part of!  If you can’t answer these questions yet, we’re here to help you, and we’re looking forward to seeing you!

There are a lot of things competing for your attention today.  We strive to help you foster a strong relationship with Jesus Christ and His Church, which will empower you to respond to the world as a Catholic, and enable you to fully embrace the true joy and freedom of the Gospel.

Friendships are really important, and we hope you will find many great friends here as well.  We want you to know that we are here to help you build strong friendships, not only with the friends you already have and in all the activities you are involved in, but with the amazing God who created you, loves you, and was willing to die for you! 

Jesus will always be your truest friend, but you have to invite Him into your life.  Like any good friend, He won’t push His friendship on you.  But He is the kind of friend who will never hurt you, never betray you, never make fun of you, and always help you to find the best in yourself.  Not only that, but since He is God, and created you, He knows you better than anyone else, and all He wants is for you to come to know Him and love Him in return.
