What We Are "About"


Have Fun - God Is Watching

We are about the people God uses.  The next time you feel like GOD can't use you, just remember....

Noah was a drunk
Abraham was too old
Isaac was a daydreamer
Jacob was a liar
Leah was ugly
Joseph was abused
Moses had a stuttering problem
Gideon was afraid
Samson was a womanizer
Jeremiah and Timothy were too young
David was an adulterer and murderer
Isaiah preached naked
Jonah ran from God
Naomi was a widow
Job went bankrupt
Peter denied Christ
The Disciples fell asleep while praying
Martha worried about everything
The Samaritan woman was divorced, more than once
Zaccheus was too small
Paul was too religious
Timothy had an ulcer... AND
Lazarus was dead!!
 
No more excuses now, God can use your full potential.  Besides, you are not the message, you are the messenger.  Come to the next Youth Group meeting and find out more.
We are about FAITH

The St. Paul youth group was created to give teenage youths at St. Paul peer support in their faith journey. We want our teenagers to grow in their love for Christ and to carry that love with them as they move on in life to high school, college and their adulthood. Far too many Catholic youths fall away from the church at this crucial time in their lives, only to regret that decision years later. Like the good shepherd, we want to keep our flock safely at home.

We are about Community
We want to offer the youth of St. Paul a parish family where they can open their hearts and minds to Christ, and to each other. We don't judge here. We don't ridicule here. We support. We nurture. We build. Teenagers face a lot of choices - difficult choices. We offer a place where teens can talk, freely, about issues that most concern them. About things they have to deal with day to day. Most importantly, what is said here, stays here.
We are about Fun
Sometimes, our discussions can be intense. But our laughter can be just as intense! We want to give our teens an enjoyment of their faith. We have many activities both in and outside of the parish that are basically just having a good time with friends.

And a princess pulled a baby out of the water
He was hidden in the rushes
Sleeping in a basket made of reeds
And you never know who God is gonna use
A princess or a baby
Or maybe even you or me
