The Mission That Guides Us

At the heart of our efforts is the mission of our parish: To form Joyful Disciples who Know Christ, Encounter Christ, and Serve Christ. This vision guides everything we do, especially within our youth and young adult ministries. We strive to create spaces where people of all ages can grow in faith, build meaningful friendships, and discover how their gifts can serve others and make a positive impact in the world.

Forming Joyful Disciples

Our youth and adult groups are dedicated to helping individuals deepen their relationship with Christ by encouraging them to know Him through learning and formation, encounter Him through prayer, community, and worship, and serve Him by living out their faith through acts of love, generosity, and service. These experiences shape young people into confident, faith-filled leaders who are prepared to bring hope, compassion, and integrity into their families, schools, workplaces, and communities..

Walking Together in Faith

1. Know Christ

2. Encounter Christ

3. Serve Christ

“Go therefore and make disciples of all nations.”
Matthew 28:19

Inspiring Faith Through Community

Our mission goes beyond any single event — it’s about forming a community where youth and young adults can grow in faith, purpose, and leadership.

 

Through shared experiences, fellowship, and joyful gatherings, we provide spaces where young people encounter Christ, build meaningful relationships, and discover the gifts God has given them.

 

Every program, retreat, and gathering is designed to help the next generation become compassionate, faith-filled leaders who will carry these values into their families, schools, and communities. By coming together as a parish, we inspire young hearts to live with faith, courage, and joy.

More Than Just an Event

Events like this are more than just a Fiesta— it’s a fiesta with a purpose. Every taco, every song, and every dance move helps support our youth and young adult ministry. All proceeds from this event go directly toward sending young people to retreats, conferences like SEEK, DYR and programs that help them grow in faith, leadership, and community.

 

By joining us tonight, you’re not just enjoying great food, music, and fellowship — you’re investing in the next generation of compassionate, faith-filled leaders. Together, we celebrate our culture, strengthen our parish family, and empower young people to encounter Christ in meaningful ways.

More Than Just an Event

Events like this are more than just a Fiesta— they are opportunities to unite our community around a shared mission. Through music, fellowship, and joyful gatherings, we create an environment where people can experience the beauty of community while supporting programs that help form young people into compassionate leaders rooted in faith.

By supporting events like this, our community helps make this mission possible. Every gathering, every shared moment of joy, and every act of generosity contributes to building a stronger, more connected parish family. Together, we celebrate our culture, uplift one another, and invest in the future of our youth.
