Youth Ministry

for the
Catholic Church of Elyria

St. Agnes ~ St. Jude ~ St. Mary

 Vision of Youth Ministry
As it is the mission of our faith and cluster parish,
centered in the Eucharist, the youth will grow in their
faith and use their gifts in serving their peers, their
families, the parish, community and Church. With the
foundation of leadership, Catechesis, and recognition of
their gifts and talents the youth will live as a disciple of
Jesus; they will participate fully in the life, mission, and
work of the Catholic family; and will grow spiritually in
the context of his/her whole life.
 The youth are
not the future
church, they ARE
the church.
