SOYO Youth Ministry

As a new and growing group, we strive to stay active in the church. As Orthodox Youth, we must always remember to focus our lives on Christ and live our lives as children of God! This is accomplished by offering our talents to Him through His community. We must also have fun while balancing all the work we do for the Lord. We have many events and activities that encourage our youth to grow both in their spiritual lives and their lives away from the parish.
