St. Genevieve Youth Ministry:

     Youth Ministry by itself is the response of the Christian family to the needs of young people, and to involve young people in sharing their unique gifts to the wider community.

     SGYM is not a "youth group" where young people just hang out. It is about ministering to all young people, making them leaders of our Church not in the future, but right now! Everyone (Clergy, Parents, Community etc. ) plays an important role in this ministry.

     SGYM is based from the model of Comprehensive Ministry that the U.S. Catholic Bishops offered as a framework for Catholic Youth. It is under the guidance of the Archdiocese of Los Angeles and the National Federation of Catholic Youth Ministries.

     The Comprehensive Youth Ministry has four settings to serve that involves the Youth, Family, Parish and Community. The Ministry lives with eight components that incorporates the four settings. The eight components are: Advocacy, Catechesis, Community Life, Evangelization, Justice & Service, Pastoral Care, Prayer & Worship and Leadership Development.
