Mr Bubble Posted December 27, 2004 Posted December 27, 2004 St. John Bosco Catholic Youth Ministry (or just "Bosco") ages: HS through college, but mostly HS. We have a bible study/ apologetics meeting on Wed nights, then another reflection/fun meeting on Sunday nights. We have a really awesome adult team who apparently aren't too embarassed to do anything. =) I found out about it while working a TEC with Bosco's leader. I actually live a town away, where our youth group kinda sux.
Lavender Posted December 27, 2004 Posted December 27, 2004 Name: A.C.T. (Awesome Catholic Teens ) Age: 7th thru 12th grades, divided up into groups of 7th/8th, 9th/10th, and 11th/12th Best Thing: We get into some cool discussions, and plus the people are great! I have a lot of friends at ACT. How I Got Involved: Uh...I just did. It's just a thing you do after you finish Sunday School...the 1st year I had to go cause it was a confirmation year, and I kept going because...I don't know... it was like school...youth group was required, at least in my household. The first two years, I didn't like it much, but this year, it's grown on me.

Tink Posted December 31, 2004 Posted December 31, 2004 (edited) Well, since Rebirth Flame hasn't delved into ours, I'll snatch this opportunity. Name: Antioch (based on Acts 11:26), with a sister group geared toward middle-schoolers (Agape) Age range: high school-college age What's [b]so[/b] lovely about it: What I love most about this youth group is each member's dedication. Aside from retreats, which naturally take a considerably strenuous amount of planning and preparation, the majority of the teens involved in Antioch put themselves in it wholeheartedly. Their faith is everything to them, rather than just a side activity reserved for Sunday nights. Also, unlike many other youth programs I've seen, for many people, Antioch is comprised of a bunch of best friends! I know that personally the people I'm closest with, whom I hang out with after school and on weekends, talk to about important things, and genuinely connect with, are all my brothers and sisters in this wonderful group, centered in Christ! We also have a kickin' sweet [url="http://weadore.com"]website[/url]! How I came to join: Antioch Youth Program has done a lot of moving in the past several years, and it came to my parish when I was in 7th grade. Of course, for me it was initially an excuse for me to do something with my friends, but I then came to realize the depth and truth of all that went on. It has a lot to do with my conversion story. So, to keep it simple, I found it through my school, my friends, and the grace of God! There ya go! Edited December 31, 2004 by Tink
