Youth Ministry
The mission of St. John the Beloved Youth Ministry is to empower youth to live as disciples of Jesus Christ, to lead them into full participation in the Catholic faith community, and to foster real, personal growth in a relationship with God.
St. John the Beloved Youth Ministry is composed of several components as described in the National Conference of Catholic Bishops' document Renewing the Vision: A Framework for Catholic Youth Ministry.
