Our parishes youth ministry team offers an effective pastoral response to the needs and concerns of youth within our parish communities. It insures that pastoral care for youth is rooted in, and supported by the whole parish. It broadens the base of input and places the emphasis on collaboration and shared decision making through both adult and youth participation. Our team works with a coordinator, the Pastoral Associate, to vision, plan and organize the parish’s comprehensive approach to ministry with youth. It does so by developing a mission statement, goals and objectives, selecting needed programs, identifying resources, and recruiting leaders and team members both youth and adults.
