Goal of Program

Youth Apostles Missionaries strive for holiness to inspire young people to live a Christ-like life. Grounded in the Youth Apostles vision for relational youth ministry, Youth Apostles Missionaries encounter young people in their parish and schools, inviting them to a personal relationship with Jesus rooted in truth, freedom, and care. These relationships with young people inspire them to know, love, and serve God - ultimately becoming disciples themselves by sharing the Gospel with their family and friends. Through outreach events, retreats, and small groups, Missionaries guide young people to prayer, holiness, and the Sacraments of the Catholic Church.
