We invite you to prayerfully consider supporting our parish youth ministry. Our growing numbers need more support from our Core Team to guide teens in their faith journey.
You don’t need to be a public speaker, an extrovert, or a faith expert; you just need to love God, love teens, and be able to walk nonjudgmentally with those questioning their faith and life experiences. Background checks and vetting are required. Contact jkollasch@assumptioncatholicchurch.org if interested. We especially need men and married couples to showcase sacramental love in our ministry. Ladies, if you’ve wanted to serve with your husband, encourage him to consider youth ministry!
