Foundation youth ministry is named based on the understanding of the pivotal role that formation of young Catholics plays in building the future of the Church. Please click HERE to read about our young adults group ‘Capstone’ and our two other youth groups, Cornerstone and Keystone.
The objective of youth ministry at Our Lady of the Dolours, Chatswood is to provide young people with opportunities to grow in their faith alongside a community of people their age.
Faith and community are two essential elements of Catholicism and by exposing our youth to activities which aspire to develop these, the young people we serve will grow to be active members of our parish.
The cross with the crown of thorns was chosen to tie in with the name of our youth ministry – FOUNDATION – as these are symbols of Christ’s death, which forms the foundation of our faith.
Yet our faith has also transformed these instruments of torture into symbols of Christ’s love for us.
They are powerful reminders of how Jesus’ love can transform people’s hearts and minds, just as we aspire to do through youth ministry.
