Welcome! You will find information about "big church events" like our diocesan youth rallies and the National Catholic Youth Conference, retreat opportunities, leadership training for youth and adults, and other services the diocese provides to youth and their families.
Youth Ministry is our church's response to the needs of today's adolescents. It's about forming youth as disciples, engaging them in responsible participation in the church, and helping their personal and spiritual growth. For more about Catholic Youth Ministry, go to www.nfcym.org/catholicym.
