"Walk in a manner worthy of the God who calls you   
into His own kingdom and glory." -- 1 Thessalonians 2:12 

Hello Families and Teens,  

All teenagers are welcome! Please review the website for updates since we have now collaborated with other parishes to bring more opportunities of service, worship and adventure. Please contact me with any questions and join our email list!  

We are always looking for Adult Volunteers to help implement our vision of a nurturing and spiritually-guided environment for our teenagers and we are looking for TEEN LIAISONS to communicate activities through social media. 

Act with Hope & Love,   

MaryAnn Raccosta 

Our Purpose:

The purpose of our Parish Youth Ministry is to bring God’s love to our teenagers. Through example and service opportunities, we guide them with the virtue of the Greatest Commandment, “Love God and Love One Another.”  Our motto,  ACT with Hope and Love , encourages our teens to live their faith in their daily lives.  

The Youth Ministry has an annual calendar of activities which includes service, worship and adventure. We coordinate with our other parish ministries, our community, our cohort parish partners, as well as events sponsored by the Diocese of Trenton Youth and Young Adult Ministry.  

Updates for new activities, Community events and Cohort parish activities will be sent via email.

If you are interested in other issues, please contact me and I will try to include it in the youth ministry planning. If you can serve in this way, please contact me! Hope to see you this year!  

Hello Youth Ministry Teenagers and Adults,

Thought of the Day: 

Is my Self Worth tied up? Do I “DO” religion or do I Follow Jesus? 

Followers of Jesus say “DONE” not “Do.”  They open their hearts to God’s plan and say “Yes, I Believe. Period. Done.”   

They are called to serve, and live with Humility and Trust every day.
