KAIROS YOUTH PROGRAM

Kairos is the Youth Formation Program for all school-aged children and high school youth of the Church of St. Anthony of Padua, Cody, Wyoming. Faith Formation for youth embraces the whole person and is effected through catechesis, service, socialization and spirituality. Our program is integrated and structured and requires a commitment from the individual, the parents, the parish and the parish staff. If our commitment to our children is total, our parish and our community will receive tremendous spiritual and temporal benefits.

Our goal is to engender and nurture a knowledge and a love of our Creator and Savior in our young men and women, who, with their idealism and high energy, become dynamic disciples, deeply in love with the Lord, eager to evangelize their peers, their families and their community.

Objectives:

• To catechize our youth, giving them a knowledge of Our Lord and fostering in them a burning love for Him.

• To empower our youth to live as disciples of Jesus Christ in our world today.

• To draw our young people to responsible participation in the life, mission, and work of the Catholic faith community.

• To foster the total personal and spiritual growth of each young person.
