High School Youth Ministry

The High School Youth Ministry of Good Shepherd seeks to welcome teens in grades 9th-12th. All youth are welcomed into a Christ-centered community where everyone will grow together in faith through spiritual, social, and service opportunities. Like Jesus the Good Shepherd, we are dedicated to bringing all youth into the loving heart of the Father through Jesus and the mission he entrusted to the Church. We will do this by supporting each individual through their unique talents so they are able to live out and defend their Catholic faith in their everyday life.

Adult Faith Enrichment Series

The goal of our Adult Faith Enrichment series is the on-going and continual conversion to Jesus through Holiness of Life. Our programs are designed to help new and mature Catholics be more active in their communities and live out the priestly, prophetic, and royal calling they receive in their baptism.
