Saint Christopher Youth Ministry is committed to the reality that young people are an important and integral part of our Parish Community. The youth program seeks to foster maturing in faith of the youth of our parish and the surrounding community.

We affirm the gifts of our youth and we foster opportunities for young people to share their gifts with the larger community. The spiritual and social needs of the youth are to be met with the committed leadership, guidance and support of our parish adults. The adults and youth of our parish are therefore provided with the opportunity to grow together in Christian faith.

Through a variety of programs, events and outreach, we seek to draw young people into responsible participation in the life, work and mission of the parish Community. We believe this ministry is to, with, by and for young people and is a blessing for the entire community.

Youth Ministry is open to all high school youth. Youth are welcome regardless of whether they attend private or public schools. Get involved and share the gifts and talents God has given you!

"This is what is needed: a Church for young people, which will know how to speak to their heart and enkindle, comfort , and inspire enthusiasm in it with the joy of the Gospel and the strength of the Eucharist; a Church which will know how to invite and welcome the person who seeks a purpose for which to commit his whole existence; a Church which is not afraid to require much, after having given much; which does not fear asking from young people the effort of a noble and authentic adventure, such as that of the following of the Gospel."

(Pope John Paul II. 1995 World Day of Prayer for Vocations)
