Peer Witnesses are a team of upperclassmen committed to serving and being a witness to their peers, and helping to prayerfully plan and coordinate youth ministries at the parish.
Peer Witnesses meet weekly over the summer for Leadership 101 and then monthly throughout the year. Peer Witnesses are expected to maintain a daily prayer life and participate in a monthly meeting.
"Through him we have received the grace of apostleship, to bring about the obedience of faith, for the sake of his name..."

The Core Team is group of fun-loving, young at heart adults who are called to lead 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 continually invites teens to the 3 tasks of surrendering their lives to Christ, abiding with God in prayer, and reflecting His love to the world as a Catholic Christian disciple. They are mentors, guides, speakers, and living witnesses of the love and lifestyle of Jesus who connect with teens regularly both on their turf and around the parish, at Mass, in journey groups, on retreats and at special events.

Not everyone's called into direct ministry with youth and that's a beautiful thing. There are tons of other ways you might be able to support the youth ministry-- we call these crucial roles "Core Support." Would you consider getting involved?
