Our Mission

Our Mission is to foster the sprituality of the youth of the Church of St. Elizabeth Ann Seton. It is the mission the parish shares as a whole and is coordinated by the Youth Minister. The dates and events are all dicussed as a team during our Youth Advisory Board Meetings.

We accept youth from all faith backgrounds to come and join our community. It is our goal to bring youth together so they can be witness to active faith lives in the adults of our parish. In the end, we hope they become conscience and active citizens in the Catholic Church or where they see fit.

The Youth Ministry activities have multiple goals and purposes when they are designed:

Outreach Ministry Acitivities: are designed to be fun, community forming activities that engage the interest of new youth or youth who have not been active in the Youth Ministry program before. These activities also provide the already active members of the community to take a leadership position before and during the activity.

Faith Forming Activities: bring the opportunity for those youth ready to challenge their own faith with new prayer experiences, service learning, and/or peer ministry.

This is the framework we have setup to use when planning our events. A balance is maintained to keep our program alive spiritually and physically. We also do not want to saturate our youth with too many activities in their already busy lives.
