Youth Ministry
Youth Ministry at St. John the Evangelist Parish has been established under the
auspices of Rev. Robert Donovan, Pastor, with Marilyn Lariviere serving as Youth
Minister. It is designed to enable youth and adults to serve together to assure
that each facet of youth programming and outreach realizes its potential to meet the
needs of the junior and senior high youth of our parish.
We see our mission as being rooted in Christ's call to each of us to come and
follow Him in order to discover the depth's of God's love present within our community
as together we seek to be co-builders of the Kingdom of Good. In order to realize
this mission, each youth and adult must be invited to offer his or her unique talents.
Together we share our time, resources, ideas, and energy in service to the youth and
their families within our parish community.
