Goals of St. John the Evangelist Youth Ministry
- Empower young people to live as disciples of Jesus Christ in our world today;
- Draw youth into responsible participation in the life, mission, and work, of our Catholic faith community;
- And deepen the personal and spiritual growth of everyone involved in Youth Ministry.
- St. John the Evangelist Youth Ministry is about building relationships, not programs, and we are committed to doing whatever it takes to help our teens know how much our community loves them and values their involvement!
