YOUTH MINISTRY:  T.I.C. – TOGETHER IN CHRIST

Purpose: The purpose of the High School Youth Ministry at St. Matthew is to: 1) Empower our young people to live as disciples of Jesus Christ in our world today, 2) Draw young people to responsible participation in the life, mission and work of the Catholic faith community, and 3) Foster the total personal and spiritual growth of each young person.

Activities: The components of a comprehensive ministry include advocacy, catechesis, community life, evangelization, justice and service, leadership development, pastoral care, and prayer and worship. High school youth of St. Matthew have the opportunity to experience each of the components through Together in Christ (T.I.C.).  T.I.C. meets on Sunday evenings from 6 - 7:30 p.m. throughout the school year.  The ministry also includes community service activities, community building and social outings, Youth Leadership Team, and retreats and service trips throughout the year.  The youth ministry program also sponsors a middle school camp, Kids Rooted In Christ (K.R.I.C.) in July.
