SOAR Mission Statement
We are young Catholics that desire to Step Out And Respond in service to those in need locally in the name of Christ. Accepting this challenge, we believe we will soar in living out our Baptismal call to share our gifts. Therefore we create an environment where young people are empowered to live out the social justice teachings of our Catholic faith, encouraged to grow by being stretched beyond our comfort zones, and committed to live, model and proclaim a life of discipleship.
