High School Youth Ministry

Mission Statement

St. Patrick Church of Merna Youth Ministry exists to provide our teens with a space to grow in their relationships with Jesus. Our purpose is to help our youth understand that each of them are known, loved and chosen by God for a specific purpose. Through fellowship, we will nurture Christ-centered friendships both within our congregation and beyond the walls of our church. We will honor God and grow in our faith by serving our parish family and local community. With frequent opportunities to participate in the Sacraments and live out our Catholic faith, we hope our youth will take ownership of their own faith journeys, as they discover God’s purpose for their lives. Ultimately, we hope that they can take what they discover here as they grow into that purpose and apply it beyond their SPCM home.

Purpose

For our youth to know they are known, loved, and chosen by God and that He desires to be in deeper relationship with each of them.
