St. Vincent de Paul Youth Ministry is a family of young Catholics committed to the goal of living out the call of the Gospels through fellowship, prayer, and service in a constant effort to become the young men and women God created each one to be. Members of the group strive to know Christ intimately, to understand His constant love for them, and to share that love with those around them.
Many people believe that youth ministry involves solely the youth. However, this ministry requires the participation of the entire Parish. The focus for Catholic adults is to encourage and mentor the youth of our community by example in service and spirituality.
Some adults have a calling to serve the youth in a more interactive way, by assisting with the youth group. The Youth Ministry welcomes volunteers who love people and are able to work with youth in grades 7 – 12.
The second aspect of youth ministry involves the youth. This ministry is designed to encourage them in learning about all aspects of service and ministry. The youth have the opportunity not only to grow in their faith but to have fun at the same time.
At Our Lady of the Rosary, the members of the Youth Ministry meet monthly and participate in a variety of faith-building activities and retreats as well as community service projects. Except for holidays, the group normally meets from 7 – 8 pm in Rosary Hall the last Thursday of the month. New members are always welcome!
