Youth Ministry is to be a priority for parishes and deaneries.

~Synod V - Diocese of La Crosse~

"Although I have lived through much darkness, under harsh totalitarian regimes,  I have seen enough evidence to be unshakably convinced that no difficulty, no fear is so great that it can completely suffocate the hope that springs eternal in the hearts of the young.

~ Pope John Paul II - World Youth Day 2002 ~

 

"Out of the darkness of my life, so much frustrated, I put before you the one great thing to love on earth: The Blessed Sacrament....There you will find romance, glory, honor, fidelity, and the true way of all your loves upon earth."

~J.R.R. Tolkien~

A comprehensive youth ministry program of which catechesis is an essential component is to be provided by every parish or by several parishes working together for young people through their senior year of high school. 

~Synod V - Diocese of La Crosse~

"We are not the sum of our weaknesses and failures;

we are the sum of the Father's love for us..." 

~ Pope John Paul II - World Youth Day 2002 ~
