In today’s society it is no longer a question as to whether or not our young people will be evangelized.Rather the question is ‘Who will lead the way?’
Our best means to evangelize teens is PEER MINISTRY!
Peer Ministry is a high school youth ministry program for students (sophomore-senior) interested in serving, leading, and supporting their peers as they develop a deeper experience of Jesus Christ and the Catholic Church.
The goal of the Peer Ministry Program is Catholic YOUTH EVANGELIZATION. Through outreaches, ice breakers, skits, games, talks, discussions, prayer, and retreats, Peer Ministers will be exposed to and attempt to expose others to a life-changing encounter with Jesus Christ.
Prospective Peer Ministers should have a commitment to Jesus Christ and His teachings. They should also be committed to the Catholic faith, be open to growing in their faith, have a desire and openness to share that faith with others, be spiritually and emotionally healthy, and be committed to a lifestyle that is pleasing to Christ.
In Fall 2009, the Peer Ministry Program expanded to host two (2) teams. One specializes in retreat ministry (Retreat Team). The other focuses on student outreach through monthly evangelization events (Outreach Team).
Anyone applying to be a peer minister on either team must understand that being part of the team is a significant time commitment and responsibility. Applicants should be committed to their faith life, their walk with Christ, the other members of the team, and to making a difference. You must also be committed to daily prayer and serving your peers. What can you expect to gain from being a Peer Minister? Hard work, lots of fun, the support of a Christian community, a sense of fulfillment and accomplishment, spiritual challenge, the joy of effecting others in a positive way, and personal growth.
Applications for the 2010-2011 Peer Ministry Outreach and Retreat Teams will be made available in May 2010.
