Program

  1. Youth in christ offers an opportunity for youth and their parents to personally experience the good news of jesus christ, his unending love and mercy, and his personal call to discipleship. Our unique approach has several dimensions: annual kick-off: each parish or region involved in youth in christ will have a fun and focused kick-off event for the whole family, as a catalyst for strengthening your faith. The goal is to keep the energetic, spiritual momentum going all year, every year! Monthly meet-ups: host families will welcome several other families into their home 1-2 times per month, have fellowship and food, and then dive into the content of the night; video testimonies from catholics who are part of real families, just like yours.

Hot topics: we provide weekly discussion points to keep your family's faith life growing at home. Communication is key for any relationship, and these once-a-week topics are easy to tackle at the dinner table, in the car, before bed, or any time you are together! Seasonal service: we will make…

Each line starts at 100 in 2019, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2019, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
