The Upper Room Squad
Youth Ministry
Welcome to Youth Ministry at St. Theresa. Often times the young of our Parish are referred to as the future of our Church, Pope Francis has made it clear in his post-synodal Apostolic exhortation ‘Christus Vivit’ (which means Christ Is Alive) that they are the now of the Church:
“Dear young people, my joyful hope is to see you keep running the race before you, outstripping all those who are slow or fearful. Keep running, ‘attracted by the face of Christ, whom we love so much, whom we adore in the Holy Eucharist and acknowledge in the flesh of our suffering brothers and sisters. May the Holy Spirit urge you on as you run this race. The Church needs your momentum, your intuitions, your faith. We need them! And when you arrive where we have not yet reached, have the patience to wait for us.’” – Pope Francis, Christus Vivit (299)
We wish to accompany our teens on their journey to a closer personal relationship with Christ. St. John Paull II said, “The most beautiful and stirring adventure that can happen to you is the personal meeting with Jesus, who is the only one who gives real meaning to our lives.”
We would love it if you would be willing to go on this journey with us …..
