VOLUNTEER in our youth ministry. There are MANY opportunities, times, tasks.volunteering as a small group leader, help w/session set-up/clean-up, be tech help with audio-visual & multi-media presentations, help video sessions/events and lots more!
PRAY… Pray for your teen. Pray with your teen. Pray for all the adult leaders and staff who teach, lead and spend time sharing the Word of God with our young people.
PARTICIPATE IN THE LITURGICAL & SACRAMENTAL LIFE of our parish. Go to Mass weekly/regularly. The Eucharist is the source and summit of our faith! Be an active member of St. Joseph’s Parish. Get involved!
SHARE YOUR OWN FAITH STORIES with your teen. Share why your faith is important to you. Talk about the joys as well as your struggles and doubts in your efforts to live out your Catholic faith. Can they see in your life the joy and freedom that your faith gives you?
ENCOURAGE YOUR TEEN to honestly examine their faith, to seek and listen for God’s will in all areas of their life through regular prayer, reflection and time with Scripture.
Let us pray together for this wonderful ministry in our parish and in particular for the young people in our parish.
In Christ,
St Joseph’s Youth Group
