Mission Statement
The Salesian Office for Youth and Young Adult Ministry of the Province of St. Philip the Apostle furthers the Salesian Mission of evangelizing and educating young people, especially the poor and at risk, as modeled by St. John Bosco, by serving those who serve the young.
Vision Statement
We, the Salesian Office for Youth and Young Adult Ministry, advance the Salesian Mission of evangelizing and educating young people to a relationship with Jesus and form them to be apostles. In order to fulfill this mission, we provide support, formation, training, accompaniment, coordination, and resources to the Coordinators of Youth Ministry and their teams. We promote the Salesian Youth Movement by organizing programs, as well as providing support, guidance, formation, and accompaniment to its member groups. We help foster and maintain unity with the Salesian Family through regular communication and participation in Salesian Family and Youth Movement events at various levels (local, provincial, interprovincial, regional, and world). We proclaim and share the Salesian Charism by collaborating with the local Catholic Church and other youth agencies.
