Caritas Youth Ministry is looking for individuals to help lead middle school and high school youth into the Heart of Jesus, and there, find their purpose and where they belong. Our Caritas Core Team helps lead Youth Nights every/every other Wednesday, corresponding with the middle school and high school schedule. Duties for core team members include giving witnesses/talks about the faith and their personal journey with Jesus Christ, helping lead games and activities for the youth, and preparation, set up, and clean up for youth nights. We ask for a one year commitment for all core members (fall and spring semester). The main requirement for a core team member is a great love for Jesus Christ and His Church! We are also always in need of supplies and meals for youth nights, prayers and support.

Time Commitment: Every other week-every week with some time for preparation. Each week we meet Wednesday from 7-8:30pm (middle school and high school meet every other week). Other chaperone opportunities are also needed at times throughout the year.

Just as the Child Jesus fled into the arms of his Mother when he was frightened, so too do we flee into the arms of our Blessed Mother with child-like confidence whenever fear envelopes our hearts. Just as the Virgin Mother consoled and comforted her Divine Child, so too does she console and comfort us, her spiritual children, in our afflictions. We can always come to her in our time of need and receive her help. We pray the Novena to Our Lady of Perpetual Help, the rosary and the Divine Mercy Chaplet.

Time Commitment: Wednesday 11:00 am - 12 pm in the church.
