Youth Ministry

Mark Hart  /  2.5 Hours

Young people bring to parishes new vitality, enthusiasm for Christ, and zeal for the mission.

These are signs for hope and encouragement for the rest of the parish community. We see in them the potential to transform our culture and world as missionary disciples.

Let’s be honest though: sometimes, it can be challenging to reach young people with the Gospel message and invite them to dive deeper into the Catholic Faith. Let Mark guide you on how to answer their questions and doubts, and effectively build a youth ministry program regardless of the size of your parish staff and resources.
