Adore Ministries

WHAT WE DO

​As a response to the growing needs of  "the loneliest generation," Adore Ministries partners with parishes in the Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston to provide a missionary presence for communities in need. Our missionaries are sent into these parishes and neighborhoods with a passion for accompaniment, invitation, and outreach. 

ACCOMPANIMENT

When Adore missionaries are sent into a community, their efforts are focused most primarily on the work of accompanying the loneliest generation. We meet teens right where they are in their spiritual lives, personal lives, and communal lives and walk alongside them. Accompaniment, the work of simply "being with", is a heartbeat throughout all of Adore’s efforts - to show this generation that they are not alone and that they are worth investment, presence, and community.

INVITATION

In our missions, we don’t proclaim a theory or an idea, but a person. A person who saves, who cares, who waits for us to draw closer. We proclaim the person of Jesus and the transformation that our lives will undergo when we begin to trust in Him. Our missionaries are dedicated to the work of teaching, catechizing, and sharing this good news through the various programs we lead in parishes. We strive for our programs and classes to be excellent, but ultimately view these as a vessel through which to encounter teens and invite them to take a step closer to Christ and to their church community.

OUTREACH

The third aspect of our main efforts in the mission field is outreach. It is not sufficient to stay within the boundaries of the parish property. We work to reach beyond these walls, and have a presence in the schools, jails and streets surrounding our parishes. It is our goal to extend a Christ-like presence in the places where kids ‘have’ to be each day, in the places where we might find those who are not being reached. We strive to  go to where they are, and put in practice the ‘going out’ that the Works of Mercy ask of us.
