Mission Statement:

We, the enthusiastic youth of St. Patrick's Parish, are brought together to be disciples of Jesus Christ, bound by our faith and inspired by the "Renewing the Vision: A Framework for Catholic Youth Ministry" document. We desire to share our love of God with our parish and with our world through our gifts, good work, prayer, service to others and evangelization.
The eight aspects of Youth Ministry are reflected in the work we do at St. Patrick's: Community Life, Evangelization, Catechesis, Prayer & Worship, Leadership Development, Pastoral Care, Advocacy, Justice and Service.
