Juventutem knows that as a young Catholic, you can’t leave your faith to chance, hoping that you can endure the onslaught of the world. Catholic sacraments, fellowship and evangelization are key to matching the world, the flesh and the devil, punch for punch.
Their newest Chapter just opened in Scranton, PA, by a small group immediately drawn to the idea of helping Catholic youth discover, grow and live the Catholic Faith. As it says on the Scranton Chapter’s website, “Our Catholic Faith is our passion.” Thanks to the vision of FSSP pastor Father Jose Zepeda, Juventutem Scranton has its base of operation at the FSSP Parish St. Michael’s, in Scranton, PA.
Anyone 18 years old and up, living in Northeastern PA, is welcome to join Juventutem Scranton. Each month they will meet for the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, followed by a meeting or activity, depending on what is scheduled. Apologetics, Devotions, and Catholic comradery will be employed to help all grow in holiness.
For more information or schedule of current events, please visit the Juventutem Scranton website at: www.juventutemscranton.com . And please, pray for us, we need it!
