As a newer Catholic, I have embraced this gift from Christ whole heartedly. I am transfixed when I see others come alive, on fire with the Catholic faith. We need to be able to offer opportunities, events and programs that help all of us to allow our beautiful Catholic faith to color and enhance every hour of our day. The ability and resources to meet and welcome those who are new and to embrace more fully those of us already here is so very important. Dar Wood

My Catholic Faith is important to me, but I know many others my age who feel that their faith is irrelevant. The opportunity to offer a variety of ways for teens and young adults to connect with the Church and become engaged is critical. We need to have the resources available when opportunities become available. Theo Sayre

When I have decisions or choices to make, the moral foundation from my Catholic faith always helps me to determine what I should do. I think my decisions and choices are better for that foundation, and I want that information and guidance to be present for all Catholic teens. I have younger siblings and I am thinking of them. Charlotte Dungan

We take our Catholic faith seriously and it is prominent in our lives. St. Peter Chanel is a wonderful parish in which to raise your children as Catholics. But there are always additional possibilities and avenues to make available, so that we can reach more people, share the joy of the “Good News” with others and even help to deepen and strengthen our own.
