PURPOSE OF THE GROUP:
            To help young people grow closer to Jesus whom we affectionately call “Chuito,” and prepare them to live their “Jornada” or Journey, a retreat that will give them the tools to evangelize and live out their faith. Our motto is “Youth evangelizing youth.” We are a part of a larger movement of youth groups throughout New York City who share this motto. See the link under “Contact” for more information.
