What is Core?

A group of fun-loving, young at heart adults who are committed to leading young people closer to Christ. They have a great love for Christ and his Church, as well as a great love for teens.

The Core Team challenges teens to connect, grow, and serve as Catholic Christian disciples, and models this for them. They are small group leaders, speakers and living witnesses of the love and lifestyle of Jesus who connect with teens regularly at Mass, LIFE Nights, small groups, retreats and other events.

"As you know, we treated each one of you as a father treats his children,

exhorting and encouraging you and insisting that you conduct yourselves as worthy of the God who calls you into his kingdom and glory." 

-1 Thessalonians 2:11-12

We need you!

We invite people to discern this ministry. We will work with them to listen to God’s call on their lives and encourage them to be sure that this is one of their main commitments for the year. 

The Core Team participates in monthly planning meetings and regular trainings and are given clear guidelines on how to minister to teens appropriately and effectively.
