HS Youth Council

2021-2022  High School Youth Council

The Youth Council is a leadership board representing the youth of our parish.  They focus on planning and executing Christ-centered ideas and service projects for the larger group of over 350 youth. They meet twice a month for fellowship and planning. The youth council always retreats together at the beginning of the year to get to know one another and to plan an activity schedule for the year. You can see them on Kick-off Sunday giving directions (usually in brightly colored t-shirts) or leading prayer services and activities throughout the year.

Mission Statement:

Youth Council is:

• A collection of young people passionate about their faith that assist the Director of Youth Ministry in planning, leading, and carrying out youth ministry activities, all while being an example of the Catholic Faith in our parish community.

Role of the Council:

• Planning stuff (retreats, socials, etc)
• Being an example (but not holier-than-thou), spreading the faith
• Leading when needed (small groups, activities, etc), being present
• Support system w/ faith/an environment of people that are passionate about their faith
  • Being able to share your faith in an open way (witness talks, prayers, etc.)
• Reach out to people who aren’t as involved in their faith, avoiding cliquey-ness, showing that anyone can join Council
