THE HIGH SCHOOL YOUTH GROUP'S MISSION STATEMENT

St Patrick Parish recognizes that "Youth Ministry is the response of the Christian community to the needs of young people, and the sharing of the unique gifts of youth with the larger community." *

St Patrick Parish seeks to incorporate the goals, themes and components of a comprehensive youth ministry program as detailed in Renewing the Vision: A Framework For Catholic Youth Ministry, 1997, United States Conference of Catholic Bishops.

* A QUOTE FROM: A VISION OF YOUTH MINISTRY, 1976, DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION OF THE UNITED STATES CATHOLIC CONFERENCE, PAGE 6.

My son, eat thou honey, because it is good; and the honeycomb, which is sweet to thy taste. So shall the knowledge of wisdom be unto thy soul: when thou hast found it, then there shall be a reward, and thy expectation shall not be cut off. -- PROVERBS 24:13-14
