Leading
Youth Closer to Christ
Why Youth Ministry?
Youth ministry is a vital part of the
parish. The youth are not only the future of
the Church but they are the Church and need to be heard, respected and involved in the
church community now. The church community needs to embrace and empower
the youth of the parish. The Church has
always adapted to the culture and changes of the time.
We need to be open to change, the different ideas and the current youth
culture. Christ calls all of us to serve Him in different ways, may you open your heart to
what God is asking of you and may you find peace in answering this call.
Life
Teen is an international Catholic movement that serves the Church by providing resources
and faith experiences that help lead teens closer to Christ. This is accomplished through
a vibrant Eucharistic spirituality and by creating
widespread opportunities for teens to grow in their faith. If

Everyone
has a baptismal call to serve. A CORE member is an adult responding to his or her
baptismal call to serve in youth ministry. As
a CORE member, you will be an important role
model in youths’ lives. Your approach to
ministry should be rooted in service, commitment and dedication to the Church and the
teenagers you serve. CORE members are one of the most vital parts of the youth
ministry program.
