    The Parish Youth Program of Saint John the Evangelist Church is united in the love of God. We come together to worship the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit; to provide for the spiritual growth of each member and be good friend to all. Family is the best description of our parish and our group, please come and join us, you will be glad you did.

   

    St. John the Evangelist Catholic Church is the only Catholic Church in Ozark, Alabama and it is part of the Archdiocese of Mobile.

    The purpose of our Youth Ministry Program is to create an environment which leads our youth into a greater relationship with God through Jesus Christ and His Church. This is the command of Jesus gave to his first disciples: "Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations." Everything we do here is directed toward the evangelization of our young people, leading them to know and love Christ and His Church!

    This mission is accomplished in three ways:

        1.
Through celebration of the Eucharist - Leading Catholic youth to a deeper love for the Mass and Jesus' Real Presence in the Eucharist
is essential! This happens primarily through the fellowship of love in all of our Masses with a special emphasis on ministering to the youth of our parish.


       
2. Through the teachings of Christ and His Church - In a culture that is engulfed in moral relativism, our belief is that young people are searching for answers. They are searching for the truth as well as a concrete way to go about living their lives. We are driven by the belief that Jesus Christ is "the Way, the Truth and the Life," and so we dynamically and boldly present the Gospel of Jesus Christ as passed on for 2000 years through the Catholic Church. While we place a high priority on a transforming experience of Jesus, solid formation in the Catholic Faith is also an integral part of our responsibility:

    3. Through an experience of being loved and accepted - The foundation of this ministry is creating an environment where every young person - no matter their past, their hair color, or their level of faith - can come and feel a touch of the unconditional love of Christ in our church. The is most specifically carried out through the Adult Leadership Team (ALT), a team of adults who have responded to a call to minister to the youth of our parish. The Leadership Team actively seeks to love and support young people at this challenging stage of life by building healthy relationships through interaction at youth events, especially through small group discussions, and also through outreach.
