Pittston Catholic Youth Group





The Pittston Catholic Youth Group is made up of members from each of the parishes in the Pittston Cluster, St. John the Evangelist, St. Mary Help of Christians and Blessed Sacrament, St. Rocco, and Our Lady of Mt. Carmel. We are a group of young people dedicated to the ideals and teachings of the Catholic Church. We firmly believe that Jesus Christ is the Savior of mankind and the true King of Kings, that He is the Prince of Peace and the Way, the Truth, and the Life. As a group of dedicated Catholic teenagers, we strive to follow His way, to believe His truth, and to imitate His life. We are always accepting new members and looking for new ideas and points of view. Come join us!



March for Life 2010!


The members of the Pittston Catholic Youth Group recently participated in the 2010 March for Life in Washington, D.C. The trip began with Holy Mass at the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception, which was celebrated by the bishop of Charlotte, NC. After that, we joined the hundreds of thousands of other pro-life advocates in a march past the US Capitol Building to the Supreme Court. The opportunity to unite with so many others for such an important cause was certainly a moment worth cherishing.
