Youth and Family Formation
Our Mission
Through our weekly programs and additional opportunities, to help parents in forming young people to be holy warriors in the Catholic faith and in their communities. We accomplish this through exemplary programming in the areas of human, spiritual, intellectual, and leadership formation.
Our Core Values
We Are Partners
We aren’t just participants, we’re partners in building the Kingdom. Everyone is expected to respect each other, our leaders, and our common space.
Learn By Doing
We believe you can’t be too young to share the Gospel. We aim to provide opportunities for teens to get out of their comfort zone, to learn by doing and learn through the process.
Put Prayer First
We seek to demonstrate that prayer comes first in our life of discipleship. We seek to center ourselves in prayer and discernment surrounding any decision.
Be The Best Teammate
Following Jesus’s model of servant leadership, everyone is encouraged to seek the good of others. We cultivate this attitude by emphasizing a spirit of teamwork, friendship, and recognizing the good work of others.
Make Each Day Your Masterpiece
We strive to achieve excellence in our programming, as well as to teach teens to give their best in all they do.
