  In order to conform to these values, JSAY:

  • Celebrates - plays a game or engages in an activity that breaks down barriers and builds trust with the volunteers.
  • Reveals - teaches the curriculum through dynamic talks, videos, Bible studies, and more.
  • Abides - meets in small groups every week to foster relationship with each other and with Christ.
  • Encounters - provides an avenue for youth to experience different forms of prayer, including Adoration, Mass, rote prayers (Rosary, DMC, etc.), praise & worship, and more.
  • Inspires - equips the youth with practical take-aways every youth night in order that they might share their faith in the world.
