Invest in Our Future: Youth Faith Formation Sponsorships
The vibrance of our parish family depends on the spiritual growth of our youngest members. By nature of their Baptism, our youth are not just the "future" of the Church, they are vital members of our parish community today.
As a parish, we share a collective responsibility to accompany our teens on their journey of faith. For many of our families, faith formation fees can feel overwhelming. We never want anyone to feel unwelcome due to their financial situation. We invite you to partner with us in removing financial barriers and providing the tools necessary for our students to encounter Christ.

Why Give?
"Faith is caught, not just taught."
Our youth formation program aims to move beyond the classroom. We emphasize face-to-face communication, authentic community, and an environment free from digital distractions. This allows our students to build real relationships with their peers, their mentors, and—most importantly—with Jesus Christ.
When you sponsor a student, you are doing more than writing a check; you are answering the call of the entire parish to "let the children come to Me."

Springtide Research Institute's 2020 study of over 10,000 young people found that as the number of trusted adults in a young person’s life increases, the level of loneliness and purposelessness they feel decreases. While 24% of those with no adult mentors say they never feel their life has meaning and purpose, with just one adult mentor, this number dropped to 6%. - Springtide Research Institute
