Youth Ministry: Ongoing faith formation

through which adolescents and their families live

out their Baptismal Call within the life of the par-

ish.

Goal 1: To empower our young people to

live as disciples of Jesus Christ in our world today.

Goal 2: To draw our young people to responsible

participation in the life, mission and work of the

Catholic Church through our parish community.

Goal 3: To foster the total personal and spiritual

growth of each young person within our caring

8 Components of Youth Ministry

Evangelization: Bringing the good news of Jesus into every human situation and seeking to transform

individuals and society by being the Good News. Answering the call of Jesus to “go and make disciples.”

Community Life: Creating an atmosphere at your parish that is welcoming, comfortable, safe and

predictable – one in which all teens know that their presence is welcomed, their energy is appreciated, and

their contributions are valued.

Leadership Development: Calling forth, affirming, and empowering adults and young people to use their

Mystagogiarse gifts, talents and abilities in a parish setting.

Catechesis: Sharing one’s faith and passing on the Catholic Tradition (as a way of expressing that faith) to

others so that they can grow and mature in their faith.

Prayer & Worship: Honoring, praising, and communicating with God. Offering God the gift of ourselves

through the Mass, the sacraments, prayers and prayer services.

Justice & Service: The call to work for justice; to serve those in need; to pursue peace; and to defend the

life, dignity and rights of all our sisters and brothers.

Pastoral Care: The call to be a compassionate presence in imitation of Jesus’ care of people, especially

those who were hurting and in need.

Advocacy: Engaging the Church to examine its priorities and practices to determine how well young

people are integrated into the life, mission, and work of the Catholic community.
