CHALLENGE is a youth ministry program that has proven to be successful in forming young women with a deeper faith. We're looking to form a group for girls and their mothers. CHALLENGE provides an opportunity for girls to grow in knowledge and love for their Catholic faith, so as to know and love:
CHRIST with real friendship
The CHURCH and the POPE with loyalty
MARY as a son or daughter
All PERSONS with charity & respect
There is a structured, flexible curriculum, with themes following the Church seasons: Ordinary Time, Advent, Lent and Easter. Service projects are also built into the curriculum. These projects involve weekly preparation and then carrying out the service as a group. The projects are imagined and put into place by the girls and their moms. This enhances the opportunity for small group mentoring & peer ministry.
Adult leaders work with the youth leaders to form and mentor them.
