I got involved because 20 years ago I was very impacted by youth ministry. It's beautiful to watch the students open up, realize God is real and give their hearts to the Lord. We need good leaders, good Catholics for our kids. I want to leave the world a better place with God as the center of our lives. If we won't teach them, who will?

Looking for a spiritual gift for parents, teens, friends, or family? What do you buy the person who has everything? Here are a few companies that create spiritual products.

"I joined Core Team because I saw the impact that Rise and then Encounter had on my other children and I wanted to be involved in helping my youngest have a similar experience. I love seeing how the girls in my small group have grown in their confidence and faith. Our small group is like our own little family where we feel safe to share with each other. It is a special connection that I look forward to sharing with them as we journey to their confirmation together."

"Being a mom of three boys, I really enjoy getting to spend time with my group of teen girls each week. It gives me a whole different perspective on the teenage mind and allows me to share my faith with them. I really enjoy learning along with them as well. God calls us to always continue to learn about our faith so to draw us deeper into communion with Him. This is a really great way to do that!

"I really enjoy working with our Youth and getting to know them on a personal level. I hope that by me sharing my journey encourages them to continue on theirs thought out their life. Being a part of something greater like the Core Team has even help me to continue my journey with our Lord. If you are considering joining the Core Team I say, 'Just do it!!'"
