Freshman year in Youth Ministry focuses on belonging to a welcoming parish community and building a strong foundation for a lifelong journey of faith. Throughout the year, teens are invited to deepen their faith in meaningful and personal ways—through worship, retreats, outreach, and reflection—while connecting with peers, families, and the wider parish community.
