NATIVITY GS-HIGH SCHOOL YOUTH GROUP
At the beginning of our experience of adulthood, high school is a crucial time of change in life. Teenagers start to re-evaluate their tradition, their personal value and their worldview. At Nativity, we want to guide them to bring to light their experience, and help them see it anew through the truthful and merciful eyes of Christ, who calls them friends.
