What is Unite Ministries?
Unite Ministries is a collaborative effort among the youth ministry offices of the Rochester Area Catholic Parishes. Together we offer activities/events, evenings of prayer, and retreats/trips for teens with the goals of: uniting young people with one another; igniting a love for Jesus Christ and his Church; and inviting young people to respond to that love.
Unite is Back with 4 Dates this Year!
Evenings consist of food, fellowship, music, speakers, and adoration of the Blessed Sacrament.

2019-2020 Unite Theme:
Question Everything
A serious misconception is that questioning our faith is shameful and equal to doubting or rejecting God. Asking questions is healthy and can serve as a springboard to grow in our knowledge of God’s love and trust in the Catholic Church. This year's Unite theme will encourage questions and thoughtfully explore four obstacles to fully embracing our Catholic faith.
Pray that the youth and families of our parish might continue to grow in and deepen their relationship with God as we head into the new year.
Pray for our parish, our priests, staff, parishioners, and all with which we have been blessed. Pray in particular for generosity and that our income might increase so we might be able to further improve our efforts in meeting the needs of our parishioners and reach out to those who are not yet parishioners.
