Clallam Catholic Youth

“You have been entrusted with an exciting but also challenging task:
to stand tall while everything around us seems to be collapsing;

to be sentinels prepared to see the light in night visions;

to be builders amid the many ruins of today’s world;

to be capable of dreaming.”
-Pope Francis

Youth ministry is the response of the Christian community to the needs of young people, and the sharing of the unique gifts of youth with the larger community.
