Youth Ministry
Many
of the ministries in which the Friars of St. Anthony Province are engaged
have programs for youth and young adults. This is especially true in the
parishes, schools, colleges and universities where the Friars serve. However,
there is also a special Youth Ministry team in the Province. This group
of Friars strives to provide special programs for the aforementioned ministries,
and for young people with whom the Friars, otherwise, have no contact.
Among activities planned are special retreat opportunities and programs that move from site to site. Plans are in the making for Youth Towards Assisi to be held in Assisi, Italy (August 6-13, 2006). Based on a successful and enriching experience at WYD 2002 in Toronto, the Friars are planning to host a group of young adults to this event. The size of the group for Italy will be limited, and all pilgrims must be 18 years of age by June 1, 2006 to participate. Early plans have the cost (round trip air fare, program Pass and meals, and accommodations in Italy) running at about $2,100 per person. For details or to reserve your space, contact Franciscan Youth Ministry.
