    6.) Prayer -Attending Mass and other parish opportunities for worship.
    7.) Offer Encouragement 

    Our Active Youth Ministry integrates faith, fun with friends, and service.

    " Before all else, the poor need God and his love, made visible by “the saints next door”, people who      by the simplicity of their lives express clearly the power of Christian love."
                                                                      Pope Francis, Third World Day of the Poor Message

    Instruction:
    12 sessions per year

                    (6 weekly dates in October/November and 6 in February/March)

    Attendance Policy:
    The Prayer and Service component are completed by attending
    Youth Ministry and Parish led activities.  H.O.P.E Reflection forms must be submitted after both the Fall and Spring Instruction sessions.
    The Instruction component has a floating day policy. That means if you can not make class on your normally scheduled day you may attend another class that week. By offering the floating day policy attendance at all instruction sessions is required. For extenuating circumstances make-up work may be completed. 
    Make-up work must be completed prior to end of the school year.
