The Youth Ministry program at St. Maria Goretti seeks to encourage young people in their relationship with Christ and to find a home in the Catholic church, through faith experiences, community building & discipleship formation. We entrust all things to the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary & ask for the intercession of our patron, St. Maria Goretti as we serve the youth of our parish.
