Our Goals
-
Guided by the USCCB’s document,
“ Renewing the Vision” (1997), our ministry has three goals:-
To empower young people (ages 13-17) to live as disciples of Jesus Christ in our world today;
-
To draw young people into responsible participation in the life, mission and work of the faith community;
-
To foster the personal and spiritual growth of each young person.
To accomplish these goals, we offer training, community, workshops, resources, retreats, and collaboration opportunities for Youth Ministry Leaders within the Archdiocese, as well as training, retreats, catechetical events, leadership opportunities for youth themselves.

Genuine love is demanding. But its beauty lies precisely in the demands it makes. Only those able to make demands on themselves in the name of love can then demand love from others.

Mental Health Orientation
If you work with youth or young adults in any capacity, this training is a must. We will be giving foundational training from the San Mateo County mental health affiliates. Though counties do differ from each other, it is still a good starting point to get some foundational resources and legal implications of what you can and cannot do when ministering to a person with a mental health situation. This is one subject that, the more information we have the better we are for the people we serve.
