Faith, Fellowship, and Fun

STAR (Stand Together And Rise) Youth Ministry strives to help young people develop a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, root them deeply in the teachings of the Catholic faith, and prepare them for a life of service and discipleship. We achieve this by fostering growth in their spiritual journey through opportunities for prayer, education, and service, all within a welcoming and supportive faith community of peers and young mentors. We teach them to pass on Catholic values and share their faith, helping them understand how their faith is relevant to their lives.
