Youth Group, Discipleship, and the Need for Transformation

A homily for the 22nd Sunday in Ordinary Time (Year A) by Father Kyle Ratuiste: To be a disciple -- that is to be a fully devoted follower of Jesus Christ -- requires the transformation and the renewal of our minds. Otherwise, we are liable to lose our faith because our outlook is worldly rather than godly. One of the groups most in need of this transformation of mind are our youth; 50% of those who leave the Church do so by the time their 18! Fr. Ratuiste, the youth minister at the Cathedral, calls on the parish to support our youth ministry to help create an environment of transformation, Christian friendship, and mentorship for our young disciples.
