Youth Apostolate

Dear Youth & Parents,

Welcome to the St. Veronica Youth Ministry program! We're happy you're here! We are here to serve you as young people in figuring out just how God and the Church fit into your lives, and we are also here for you, parents, to help you in this awesome gift and responsibility that our Lord has entrusted you with! Thanks!

Our main goal is to help you, as youth and parents, to answer a few important questions.

How can I live an authentic Catholic life & still have a life?
Is the Catholic faith really relevant & practical for me in this modern world that I live in?
Why did God create me, & what is He calling me to be, a husband & father, wife & mother, a consecrated religious brother or sister, or a priest?

St. Veronica Youth Ministry strives to help the parish become a "Church for young people, which will know how to speak to their heart and enkindle, comfort, and inspire enthusiasm in it with the joy of the Gospel and the strength of the Eucharist; a Church which will know how to invite and to welcome the person who seeks a purpose for which to commit his whole existence; a Church which is not afraid to require much, after having given much; which does not fear asking from young people the effort of a noble and authentic adventure, such as that of the following of the Gospel" (late Holy Father John Paul the Great, 1995 World Day of Prayer for Vocations).
