IMPACT Youth Ministry
IMPACT Youth Ministry is focused on bringing youth closer to Christ. From 7th graders to College- aged young adults, IMPACT shows the love, mercy, grace, and redemption of Christ to all and brings the truth of the Catholic Church to them, as well as bringing them to the Church! We live by the motto that God impacts you, [and in turn] you impact the world! All glory to Him who gives us strength!
Regional Youth Ministry Mass – Sundays, 6:30pm. St. Elizabeth Ann Seton
IMPACT Youth Ministry is hosting a Mass, where the Mass and music is geared towards the youth in order to better connect the youth to the Eucharist and their faith life as a whole. The pastors of the parishes [we serve] preside over the Mass, and the Liturgy is run by teens. This is open to ALL people!
