CORE Team Information :
The CORE Team is the group of volunteers who plan, prepare, and execute the main teen events at the parish. We have the team to offer additional support to our teens, youth director, and priest.
We believe the CORE Team is essential to a good youth ministry program. The CORE Team will not only help carry out events, but they will be powerful witnesses and role models to the young people they minister to. Through the accompaniment that the Team will provide we hope to empower teens to live as disciples of Jesus Christ.
“Modern man listens more willingly to witnesses than to teachers, and if he does listen to teachers, it is because they are witnesses." Pope Paul VI
We need faithful people who are passionate about Jesus and have a desire to help young people grow in their relationship with Him.
Involvement in the CORE Team will include:
- Leadership Opportunities
- Fellowship with an intentional community that is passionate about the Faith and sharing it
- Spiritual and ministry formation to grow in your personal faith and the work of evangelization
- Opportunities to lead and join a Discipleship group for spiritual accompaniment
- Retreats for the Team to remain filled and equipped for the mission
What will the CORE Team Do?
Our Core Team will minister to our youth by leading small groups, occasionally giving talks to our teens, praying for our teens, being present to our youth at youth nights, retreats, and events, chaperoning trips, and engaging with our teens in conversation.
List of Requirements of a CORE Team Member:
-Must be Living out the Catholic Faith (Be in a good standing with the Catholic Church / Active and Participating in the Sacraments)
- Take online certification course for Youth Protection offered by the diocese
- Attend monthly CORE TEAM meetings to plan events and receive formation
