Igniting Faith
and Community
Ignite the popular and growing youth group on campus offers students many opportunities to lead and build community with one another At Christmas students sang carols and offered holiday cheer to residents who live in the neighborhoods around school During evening meetings members model their faith by talking about issues such as relying on on God for direction Meetings always end with the “prayer chair ” where students extend their hands in prayer to lift up classmates who need encouragement and support “Ignite gives me another place to grow my faith ” says junior Rosemary Bautista a core member who helps run meetings “Sure I I can do it at home but I I like being able to do it it with other students my age who share the same interests It makes it so much better ” Ignite gives me another place to grow my faith
