MissionThe mission of the Youth Ministry at Corpus Christi is to provide a safe environment for all youth, no matter where they attend school. We will provide opportunities for personal and spiritual growth of each young person. We will also promote the active participation of the youth in the life, mission and work of our faith community. Youth ministry serves all youth in grades 6 through 12, regardless of whether they attend public or parochial school. Youth ministry is a multidimensional reality, but all of its varied facets are brought into focus by a common dedication to the following goals:
Special events, retreats and social outings vary throughout the year. Contact Maria Juvera at 719-633-1457 for specific information on different programs. Youth LiturgiesYouth Liturgies provide a chance for the youth to participate in all of the ministries involved in the liturgy. Youth provide music, hospitality, lectors and eucharistic ministers. All youth in grades 6 to 12 are invited to participate. We will celebrate many throughout the year; dates and times will be announced. We know that the liturgy is an important part of our faith as Catholics. That is why we try to integrate the youth into the existing liturgies rather than set them apart with their own celebration.. This way we are celebrating as a family. Bible StudiesBible study groups will be set up for those who wish to "break open the Word." Dates and times will vary. DramaLiving Stations of the Cross are open to any students in grade 6 through 12. Practice times vary. Other drama opportunities will be presented throughout the year.
