M.A.T.R.I.X.
stands for Moments Around Teens Rejoicing in Christ. This youth ministry
program began during the years of 1992 and 1993 when a small group of
teenagers gathered for mass with Fr. Phil Cyscon in the basement of
the church rectory. After that year, a priest by the name of Fr. Jeff
Grob continued the small gatherings of teens for Sunday night masses
which these teens soon created the mass title “MATRIX”
In 1994, Saints Faith Hope and Charity hired a full time youth minister
who continued the tradition of those Sunday night masses, along with
building a MATRIX youth ministry program of service, retreats and spirituality.
OUR MISSION:
The Youth Ministry program of MATRIX at Saints Faith Hope and Charity
commits themselves to creating spiritual leaders in the church. Our
mission is to bridge the gap between all teenagers to form one community
where all teens are welcomed, accepted and loved. Our ministry offers
weekly opportunities for teens to build a relationship with themselves
and others leading to a relationship with Christ. Our goal is to allow
every teenager to become leaders in the Church through words, action
and relationship.
LOOKING FOR LEADERS:
MATRIX is looking for high school teens to get involved in the parish
as Eucharistic Ministers, Lectors, Greeters, and Ushers for the 5 pm
mass. Also, MATRIX is looking for any music talent that teens have to
get involved in the music ministry for the 5 pm Sunday masses.
