One Purpose provides a vision for ministry with young people 6 th -12 th grade at Our Lady of Perpetual Help Catholic Church. It calls the entire Church to accompany them as maturing disciples through their school and post-school years into young adulthood, and to help them find their place in the Church and the world. It calls young people, to be more involved in their faith community and to grow in understanding and expressing who they are as the Church of today and tomorrow.
