In this program, you will receive faith formation aimed at deepening your understanding and knowledge of the Catholic faith through a systematic study of the Creed and an examination of the principles of leadership as revealed in Sacred Scripture.
You will learn how to interact with and communicate effectively with others, hone your presentation style, and develop a variety of leadership skills in a practical setting. You will also learn practical life skills such as time management, features of a healthy lifestyle and relationships, as well as developing your spiritual gifts and habits of prayer.
You will have the opportunity to put your faith and skills into action by being an effective and reliable volunteer and ensuring the safety of those you work with. You will plan various projects that involve the spiritual and corporal works of mercy. There are also options to equip yourself to mentor other young people in their own faith journey and ministry skills, or to work collaboratively within a team to plan and execute events that support and inspire young people in their walk with Christ.
