Join the youth group!
The Nunc Coepi Youth Group is the youth ministry of St. Peter Chanel parish. The Nunc Coepi youth group began on February 22, 2013.
The group hosts a variety of fun and spiritual activities for its members, such as bible studies, movie nights, Eucharistic Adoration, and family outings.
The goal of this ministry is to help teens encounter Christ in a personal and powerful way. We hope that they will make Christ an important part of their lives, as they work towards becoming saints!
The youth group gathers in Room 103 of the St. Joseph Building every 1st and 3rd Friday from 7 pm-8:30 pm, and on occasion, will have outings outside of the parish. To get connected with the group and for more information, please contact Irma at 562.305.8497.

What is 'Nunc Coepi'?
'Nunc Coepi' is a Latin phrase that means 'Now I Begin', and it can also be translated to mean 'Begin Again.' It is a popular saying of Venerable Pio Bruno Lanteri, the founder of the Oblates of the Virgin Mary, the religious priests who staff our parish.
Venerable Lanteri's words remind us that we should never give up hope on God and ourselves, and that, by God's grace, we can always begin again (nunc coepi). No sin, no weakness, is greater than Our Lord, Jesus Christ. Through God - in His Chuch and the Sacraments, especially the Eucharist and Reconciliation - we can find the graces that we need to become great saints!
Our youth ministry wants to help our teens know that God's grace is greater than any sin or weakness that they may be struggling with. By finding freedom that is only truly found in Christ, a teen can find real joy in Jesus, His Blessed Mother and His Church. Nunc Coepi! Now I begin!
