    Vision of Youth Ministry As it is the
mission of our faith and cluster parish, centered
in the Eucharist, the youth will grow in their
faith and use their gifts in serving their peers,
their families, the parish, community and
Church. With the foundation of leadership,
Catechesis, and recognition of their gifts and
talents the youth will live as a disciple of
Jesus they will participate fully in the life,
mission, and work of the Catholic family and
will grow spiritually in the context of his/her
whole life.
