The Most Successful High School Ministry in the Country
<p>Everett reconnects with his friend Addie Magruder, Director of Ut Fidem at Dowling Catholic High School. They tell the story of developing this unique campus ministry program and the incredible success Addie has seen by developing small groups with spiritual mentors.

Addie talks practicals about finding mentors who are already disciples, but also the intangible power of asking God to guide her steps.</p><p>From the Dowling Catholic website: Ut Fidem, from a Latin phrase meaning “Keep the Faith,” strives to develop high school students into intentional disciples who will keep the faith for the rest of their lives, and especially through college. Ut Fidem does this by supporting students in forming deep, personal relationships with Christ through small group ministry and faith mentoring.</p><p>Our solution: Basically... learn from “Ut Fidem”</p><p>Learn more about Addie and Ut Fidem at <a href="https://www.utfidem.org/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">utfidem.org</a>.</p>
