a ministry for Catholic teens who naturally demonstrate love for others through acts of giving and nurturing
Members study Scripture and saints related to their personal and God-given charism: from the point of view of one who loves to serve others and manifests hospitality. Teens from any Catholic parish in the Diocese of Palm Beach interested in cooking, baking, and gardening are invited to attend. While members do not have be parishioners at Holy Family, stewardship in the form using time and talent to serve Holy Family parishioners and the community in this Port St. Lucie neighborhood is expected.
