St. Thomas Aquinas once said, “To convert somebody go and take them by the hand and guide them.” Our high school youth program is designed to inspire young people to take charge of their own faith, putting Christ at the center of it all, allowing them to guide each other, and those they meet along the way, closer to Him.
