“Children and young people are the future; they are our strength; they are what keep us moving forward. They are the ones in whom we put our hope.” Pope Francis
St. Peter Prince of the Apostles Youth and Young Adult ministry is committed to the words of Pope Francis that the young people are the future of the Church and that our young people are an important part of our parish community. Our ministry works to offer programs and events that will help the young people of parish grow not in only in their faith but encourage devolvement and ways for our young people to share their gifts and talents with the community.
The vision of youth and young adult ministry at St. Peter Prince of the Apostles is to meet the spiritual and social needs of our young people by offering variety of programs and events as well as committed leadership, guidance, and support.
