Illuminate Youth Ministries is a thriving faith-based and faith inspired group in Central Minnesota, committed to guiding young people toward a deeper relationship with Christ. It was founded by a group students who experienced the transforming power of the Holy Spirit at a Steubenville Retreat in 2018. They felt called to create a community where young Catholics could grow spiritually, support one another, and encounter Christ in a profound way.
Starting with small gatherings, Illuminate (formerly St. Mary's Cathedral Youth Group) quickly became a place for youth seeking authentic faith experiences. Over the past few years, the Holy Sprit has continued to guide and expand the ministry, leading to larger groups, bigger events, and a flourishing community.
