Aside from their respective homes, the young ones are in fervent search of a shelter – a place of Love, Affection, and Holistic. This shelter is the Parish Youth Ministry, an organization that would guide the youth as they traverse the crossroads of life. This ministry helps strengthen and deepen the youth’s relationship with Christ and provide opportunities for spiritual growth and actualization of faith and encourage the youth in community involvement and mission of the Church. Parish Youth Ministry’s vision is that young Parishioners committed to deepening our Faith, thereby strengthening family, developing friendship, and reaching out to others. The mission of the PYM therefore is to provide for the formation and organization of the youth – with events, retreats, mission trips – to realize their potential, empower them to live as disciples of Jesus, elicit their participation in Church activities, and to prepare them as future parish leaders, to mobilize the youth as instrument of evangelization among their fellow youth and others; and to implement programs that will foster enthusiasm and goodwill among the youth and that will address their needs. In addition, the ministry intends to: empower young people to live and bring Christ to the less fortunate youth and make them feel that they are part of or that they belong to the greater community of Christ. To draw young people to responsible participation in the life, mission, and work of the Catholic faith community.
