At St. Brigid, our youth mission group, J.A.M (Jesus & Mission), seeks ways to meet Jesus in their wider community. J.A.M meets once a week with the purpose of planning and providing fellow teens with opportunities to encounter Jesus Christ in their every day life. J.A.M challenges their peers to live for Him through inspiring talks and dynamic music. Events include mini-retreats, once-a-month Friday night gatherings, and lock-ins that allow high school and middle school youth to communicate their faith in God with one another.

An example of J.A.M-in-action is described best in this recent article from Catholic News Service posted on CatholicPhilly.com:

The “V Encuentro” process is emphasizing evangelization and the call of every baptized Catholic to be a missionary disciple of God’s love.
