Youth Ministry Program: This ministry strives to include youth in all aspects of Parish life. Youth at the Junior High and High School levels are served by helping them develop a relationship with Jesus Christ through prayer, faith formation, religious education and social and service opportunities. The success of the program depends on the dedication of adult volunteers who are willing to develop healthy relationships with teenagers through sharing of faith, time and energy. This is an ideal ministry for married couples to share together. On-going training is available from both the parish and the Archdiocese of Cincinnati. Contact: Pam McLaughlin (825-0618).
