Youth Ministry
"The future of humanity is in the hands of those who are capable of providing the generations to come with reasons for life and optimism."
Pope Paul VI - Gadium et spes, 31
The goal of St. John Vianney Youth Ministry is to encourage youths to know God's word, develop a relationship with Jesus Christ, and become active in the church community.
- Build community
Help young people feel a sense of identity while creating lifelong bonds within the church.
- Create connections
Bring young people together through conversations, bible and catechism readings, and other fun activities.
- Empower future leaders
Provide the opportunity to develop leadership skills through church activities and service projects.
- Navigate teen years
Guide youths through their teen years, building a strong foundation for their lifelong faith journey.
"If you are living an easy life, you are not living a Christian life."
- Bishop Dennis G. Walsh, 2025
