      Mission of the Youth Ministry

      To attract and inspire Youth in the St. Columba community to connect with each other spiritually and socially by participating in Youth activities and programs.  In addition, to support and be guided by the mission of St. Columba Church, “Through African-American traditions and Roman Catholic Christian principles, we are moved by the Spirit of God to serve through the Church of Oakland.”

      Youth Group activities are based on the concepts of Faith, Fun and Service.  The Youth Group provides an environment for the Youth of St. Columba to gather together in a fun, friendly and safe environment.  It allows them to learn, share and develop into active participants of the Church community.  The Youth Group also serves as a community building and faith sharing beginning to the Sacrament of Confirmation preparation process.

      Youth Group meets on the Second and Fourth Sundays of each month and participates in All Family Faith Days on the fourth Sunday of the month. Meetings occur at a time determined by Youth Director (12:30-2:30 pm). Activities and events are scheduled based on the availability of Youth and Adult Leadership.

      Youth are required to complete Safe Environment curriculum instruction. 
      Parent support and participation in Youth Group programs is strongly encouraged.  Parents are required to complete Diocese Safe Environment training.

      Youth activities are determined and selected by the group members. There have been recurring activities/events sponsored by Youth each year; refer to On going Activities for a Summary of Activities and Program Costs.

      Based on the demographics of our Church community, not all Youth are able to afford these activities; thus, our budget takes this need into consideration.  We operate under the premise of "...Leave no youth behind."

       

    • Youth Group is looking for volunteers and fresh ideas and have an announcement for:

      @ end of Mass announcement
      @ the bulletin
      @ front schedule of website 
      @ flocknotes email

      St. Columba’s Youth Ministry programs (Youth Group and Confirmation preparation) have the mission to, “attract and inspire Youth…to connect with each other spiritually and socially by participating in Youth activities and programs.”

      We are looking for your time, talents and treasures to re-imagine our youth program(s).  

      We are looking to build a diverse Team of young and older adults. Present team includes Harrison Ezeokoli, Wes, Dr.Carter, Mr.Harper, Meg Bowerman, Delores Hill, Lelton Gibson, David Angel Harris, Ron Bazille, Andrew Peters.

      You don’t have to be young, just young at heart; and if you can commit to any Sundays of the month, are willing to engage with our St. Columba Youth…WE NEED YOU!

      Please contact WES MULDROW at [email protected] or 925.785.9705
