BURTON, Ohio — Members of the newly formed Eparchial Youth Commission met with Bishop Milan Lach, SJ, of Parma at Christ the Bridegroom Monastery for a retreat to outline their priorities and a plan of action for the next several years.
Father Michael Lee, administrator of St. Luke Parish in Sugar Creek, Missouri, heads the commission as the chairperson. Other members include Father Nathan Adams, parochial vicar at four Cleveland-area parishes, and Mother Gabriella Houck of Christ the Bridegroom Monastery.
The commission gathered at the monastery Dec. 11-13 to pray and discuss with the bishop the future of youth ministry in the eparchy. They read and discussed parts of “Christus Vivit,” Pope Francis’ Post-Synodal Exhortation dedicated to Young People and to the entire People of God, and used it as the basis for prayer and reflection.
