SOZO
is here at St. Martin’s to develop and build our High School faith community. Through evangelization and the power of the Holy Spirit we use faith based activities to guide our teens into a deeper relationship with Jesus, family, friends & community. Jesus wants us to experience SOZO through Him, with Him and for the Glory of God the Father. We strive to empower the youth to become aware of their unique gifts and identity. We encourage recognition of how they fit into the Kingdom of God here on earth as strong confident disciples building up the Body of Christ.There are hundreds of references to
SOZO throughout the Bible, Most importantly we are only made Whole by the Grace/Love of God—For by grace you have been saved through faith, and this is not from you; it is the gift of God…Ephesians 2:8
We are in a year of transition and building. There is a calendar of activities including retreats that are available to 9th through 12th graders. Students do not have to be parishioners of St. Martin’s to attend. We encourage them to bring friends and they do not have to be Catholic.
