Mission Statement

Rooted in the church's mission of peacemaking and reconciliation, and inspired by the vision and passion of Cardinal Joseph Bernardin, the Peacebuilders Initiative seeks to encourage and mentor youth to awaken their minds and hearts toward ministry within the church as a lifelong vocation. We achieve this by building a dynamic and supportive community of high school students, adult educators and youth ministers where the youth's talents, leadership abilities, and passions are affirmed and cultivated.
