I’m part of a large parish, but our youth group is literally 5 teens. We meet once a month and I have 1 reliable volunteer but no one helps with the planning all year. We have no budget, and I can’t afford a dime of my own. We get reimbursed for any meals or things on a case-by-case which we’re hoping to change. We meet in a religious ed classroom and talk about one Bible verse then play some games. Sometimes it feels like a tugging a mountain with a rope, by myself. I feel like there’s little support from the parish, especially since no one answers the call to volunteer, but then I think of the teens. They. Are. Awesome. I wouldn’t trade one of them for 10 more. I love them and want to show them Christ every day. It’s why I’m doing this, and why I’m not quitting. (I also am a volunteer and work a 40hr/wk job w/ two kids of my own. I get it.) God Bless!
