Saint Rose of Lima Youth Ministry
Our community and parish value young people. We seek to provide a program and ministry that enables young people to lead lives of holiness while giving them opportunities to lead, serve, pray, learn, and grow.

High School Youth Ministry at Saint Rose of Lima
Youth Ministry in our modern age is an ever-increasing challenge that is constantly in flux. The opportunities teens have to become involved in activities of all kinds seem limitless. Their time is spread out so thin that families barely have time to sit down together at dinner even once a week. Academic pressures, an overload of after school activities, and rigorous sports/performing arts schedules are all factors (good and bad) that limit teens’ abilities to become involved in their parish communities. Youth Ministry at Saint Rose seeks to instill in the lives of teens and their families the fact that Christ is indeed a necessity in our lives. He is our life. He draws us together as a community and focuses our hearts on the needs of others. His Church is the living extension of his mission and we all play an important role in the life of the Church as a member of his body. Youth Ministry at Saint Rose offers young people something that school, sports, and other activities cannot. We provide a community made up of teens and adults focused on Christ’s love for us and our response to that love. We are not just another opportunity or activity for teens to choose from; rather we are the opportunity all teens are searching for and more. Christ fulfills and sustains all our longings and desires. It is our mission and calling to bring that good message, that Gospel message to our young people.

A Life Worth Living: Full of Excitement and Mystery
While Youth Ministry seeks what is stated above we also hope to convey to young people that a life lived for Christ, while often counter cultural, is actually worth living. There is nothing more exciting, exhilarating, or freeing. That life, however, is not always easy to discern or discover, but the beauty of the journey is apart of the excitement and the mystery. Helping young people along their journey is worth all our time and energy.

Please Bear With Us!
As of August 10, 2010, we are currently without a Youth Minister for our shared programs with Corpus Christi parish in Roseville.  The two parishes are in the process of discerning how to go forward this fall.  Some decisions will not be finalized until after the October announcement from the Archdiocese about the Strategic  Plan for restructuring parishes and schools throughout the diocese.  Please watch the weekly bulletins for updates.
