Other Religious Youth Groups / Organizations
The Commission on Youth Ministry strives to create and re-organize different Religious Youth Organizations such as Tarcisians-Knights of the Altar, Companion of Christ and other youth groups in the parish. That will make them active and participate in the life and mission of the parish Commission on Youth Ministry through its programs and activities. In order to come, unite and move together as one special sector of the church which is the young people.
Parish Youth Ministry Creative and Performing Arts Club
The Commission on Youth Ministry aims also to help in the total human development of the young people by pushing them forward into the society through developing and improving their skills and talents without neglecting their personal relationship with God. That is why the ministry formed different creative and performing arts club as the areas of attention for youth ministry as the best way of reaching the young.
Choral Group
Lets out the hidden angelic voice inside of the youth. The group not only uses their voices in serving the Holy Mass or any Para liturgical services but also exposes their extra ordinary talents through youth oriented activities such as youth concerts and others.
Dance Troupe
One of the most possessed skills of the youth is dancing. Anyone can see that the youth is mostly fascinated with music, especially moving with its beat. Dance Troupe can turn this fascination into a skill that a youth can possess. Either ballroom, hip-hop to techno, they are given a chance to show off their skills. Also through dancing they can develop brotherhood that not only their bodies move in harmony but their minds and spirit as well.
Dramatic Guild
“The stage is the mirror of reality”. Everyone is seeing a movie or a stage play but what makes a stage play and a good movie is a good actor/actress. The talent of acting is rarely being noticed nowadays thus hiding this talent from the youth. Others are not even aware of discovering this talent because they are not given a chance. In the youth ministry the youth could discover that they are natural born actors because the guild does not snatch their talents away from them but instead give it to them and improve it ten folds. The Guild tries not only to expose their talents but also to take away their stage fright and lift their morale and shower them with self-confidence.

Youth Ministry Sports Club
Youth ministry believes that youth development involves spiritual, social, mental and physical aspect. One way of developing the young is through sports. In the spirit of strengthening the youth through sports, youth ministry strives to organize a group/team for it aims to foster friendship, sportsmanship, unity, and strength among the youth in order to deepen their commitment in the parish. It allows them also to make a self-assessment by looking into their talents and charisms necessary for their growth through sports.
