“PACK is a place where young people can get together to discuss important topics such as how our faith interacts with politics and other modern issues and to bond together as young Catholics."

Dear Little Flower Parish,
My name is Chris Holcomb, and, as most of you know, I am the youth minister here at Little Flower. A member of the parish for thirty years, I would never have guessed as a child that I would be working at my beloved parish as an adult.
My goal as a youth minister is to bring the young people of Myrtle Grove closer to Christ by providing a variety of experiences for them to engage in prayer, worship, and service.
It is also very important that they have opportunities to grow closer together as a community. Some of my closest friends are those I made during my time as a child and teenager at Little Flower Parish, and I hope to give today’s youth the same opportunities for lifelong friendship and enduring faith.
