St. Peter's takes great interest and invests much efforts and
resources into it youth ministry.
The youth ministry continues to grow and
attract not only parish youths
but also youths from the general community.
In 2005, the parish undertook the project of revitalizing its
youth ministry.
With a grant from the diocese and some additional resources
of the parish,
St. Peter's contracted the services of a youth minister, (The
Rev. Greg Dyson),
who supervised the revitalization process.
Today, the youth ministry has taken on a new face and become
very
active with a well-organized staff, active youth offices and a
number of on-going weekly, monthly and yearly activities.
Some of these include:
Midweek Youth fellowship night
A monthly Youth
Sunday
Seasonal programs
Some of the yearly youth ministry include:.
St. Peter's youth ministry is open to all youths and it networks
with youths of
other churches and institutions on various projects ad
programs from time to time.
This year, the parish will be furnishing the youth department
with a number of
game-tables, computers, and other equipment to further
enhance its activities.
Steve Dwyer heads the youth department coordinated by Donna Christian.
