Youth Ministry
Mission Statement
The mission of the Cure D’ Ars Youth Ministry is to serve the Cure D’ Ars community by:
- Being active and visible members in our church by serving the Body of Christ as liturgical ministers
- Deepening our faith in Jesus Christ by asking God for guidance to understand better His Word and by studying His Word regularly.
- Uniting high school youth spiritually and socially while forming lasting friendships and recruiting other youth to participate in Youth Ministry.
- Serving as role models for the younger generation.
- Preparing for adulthood.
The Cure d’Ars Youth Ministry focuses on the basic teachings of the Catholic Church. Youth engage in activities (spiritual and social) to reinforce their learning and strengthen their Christian bond within our community.
