Prayer meetings play a vital role in nurturing the spirituality of our youth and help them grow in faith and fellowship, we always begin every event with a prayer meeting.

 

Our social events are always popular, we have organized event such as the youth bbq, game-days, dodgeball games, hiking and more throughout the year.

Over the course of time we have participated in numerous national level Inter-parish activities like Texas-Oklahoma Regional Conference (TORCH), Inter Parish Talent Festival (IPTF), Inter Parish Sports Festival (IPSF), and Diocesan Youth Leaders Gathering (DYLG).

These events facilitate emotional, physical and spiritual growth opportunities for the youth. There is long road ahead and we hope to lay the foundation for our young generations to be better Christians and inspire them to be their best.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_column_text]
