It is Jesus that you seek when you dream of happiness; He is waiting for you when nothing else you find satisfies you; He is the beauty to which you are so attracted; it is He who provoked you with that thirst for fullness that will not let you settle for compromise; it is He who urges you to shed the masks of a false life; it is He who reads in your hearts your most genuine choices, the choices that others try to stifle."
The Grove
The Grove Youth Ministry is a community focused on providing opportunities for the youth at Good Shepherd Catholic Church to encounter Christ. There will be gatherings throughout the year to socialize and develop friendships, to learn and explore the Catholic faith, and most importantly, to build upon their relationship with Jesus Christ. One of our goals here at The Grove is to be a community that supports our young people in being the "Now of God," protagonists, and missionary disciples.
Requirements
All youth attending must fill out the Diocesan Youth Permission form. The link for it will be on sidebar on the left.
