Bensonhurst Cluster Youth Ministry programs
Programs are open to both males and females, and are primarily offered to those youth who are connected with the seven Catholic Churches or schools of the Bensonhurst Cluster: St. Athanasius, St. Dominic, St. Finbar's, St. Frances Cabrini, St. Mary, Mother of Jesus, St. Simon and Jude and Our Lady of Guadalupe. Granted any youth of any religious persuasion or belief state is welcome from the larger community in Brooklyn.
Programs vary in depth and scope, from the social to the spiritual, all with the goal of creating a sense of community and church, exposing youth to healthy relationships and Gospel values. Primarily most programs are geared towards those in junior high, through high school, ages 12 through 18. At the same time, individuals that are mature and balanced may be able to participate at a younger age, but note that adults involved take on an accompaniment role, not a supervising position, so youth that need greater attention due to age or immaturity may be asked to not participate in certain programs
Service Outreach-
If you need service hours for confirmation of school, contact us, and we can arrange for you to do work after school, or you can join us for our Service Saturday's!
(If you know of someone in your neighborhood, block or family who is elderly, handicapped, or living alone, that could use some help with general house cleaning or yard work- for free, please contact us, and we can come with some youth to help out during the year.)
The above listed programs are all either sponsored by the Cluster Office of Youth Ministry and/or the youth ministry programs of the parishes of Brooklyn West 9, which include: Our Lady of Guadalupe, St. Mary, Mother of Jesus, St. Athanasius, St. Frances Cabrini, and St. Simon and Jude.
The Bensonhurst Office of Youth Ministry serves all youth in the local Brooklyn Community, in collaboration with the local Catholic Churches:
All youth, regardless of faith, gender, and ethnicity are welcome to participate in Cluster Sponsored Programming. There are specific Faith Formation Groups for Jr. High Youth between the ages of 12-15 and those in High School between 16-19 years of age.
Each program is designed to guide youth to a greater understanding of who they are, where God is in their lives and to understand their role in society both today as youth and as they grow to become, "people of faith and honest citizens."
Youth Ministry Goal #1: To build the church as a "Home that Welcomes, A Parish that Evangelizes, A School that Prepares for Life, and a Playground where friends Come and Meet each other." Let us build the city of God, where all are welcomed!
