Holy Name’s Youth Ministry
Mission Statement
Youth Ministry at Holy Name Parish works to foster both personal and spiritual growth of teenagers in junior high and high school. Spiritual, service, and social events are offered on a monthly basis to help the teens within the parish strengthen their own personal relationship to Christ and His Church. All events organized by Holy Name’s Youth Ministry Program strive to help examine the meaning of being Catholic and how to live one’s faith within everyday living.
