The Cross

OUR DIOCESAN VISION

We share in the mission of the Universal Church which is to be called and empowered to proclaim the reign of God. We exist for the mission of Christ, the proclamation of the Good News. “Our task is to bring all people into full union with Christ.” (Dogmatic Constitution on the Church). We are to do as Jesus commanded, “go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe everything I have commanded you.” (Matthew 28:19-20).

Rooted in the Universal Mission of the Church, this is our Diocesan vision.

OUR MISSION STATEMENT:

In accordance with this vision under the guidelines of the USCCB Document “Renewing the Vision: Eight Steps of Comprehensive Youth Ministry” we hereby establish ourselves as the Cross, a Catholic Christian Youth Group guided by the following principles of Worship, Witness, Service and Fellowship.
The goal of our Catholic Christian Youth Ministry is the integration of each young person fully into the total life of the Church. We exist to provide an environment where we can best address the needs of the young people in our parish and to assist them in committing themselves to living the faith daily. (WORSHIP)

Christ calls us to be His witness in the world. We must enable our youth to express their faith for themselves and to others in order to be true witnesses to Christ and our Catholic Faith. (WITNESS)

Christ came not to be served, but to serve. We need to move our youth to do the same. We honor and glorify God by loving and serving mankind in the name of Jesus Christ, using our God-given gifts and talents. (SERVICE)

By gathering together in fellowship, and by showing love for one another in Christ, we emulate the life of the Christ in our daily life. (FELLOWSHIP)
