Youth Ministry

Pastoral Juvenil Hispana Reflections: Using the structure of the pastoral circle, we recognize that each youth, from their reality, is a protagonist in their community—exploring diverse ways to express themselves, encounter God and examine the reality of injustice in the world. To this end, the five sessions below are designed to reflect on Scripture, create unique opportunities for prayer and build global solidarity, personally and communally.

Digital Retreats: Explore our digital retreat offerings below. Within, you’ll find videos, reflection prompts and passages to ponder — alone, or in community. Below, you’ll find our Stations of the Cross Digital Retreat video series.
