The Holy Rood Collaborative's Youth Ministry program seeks to ensure that the young people of the Collaborative feel known, valued, and loved by God and by their parish community. By providing opportunities for youth to encounter Christ in their lives and connecting them with mature Christian mentors youth ministry strives to equip and empower our young people to be lifelong disciple of Jesus.
