Youth Department staff will meet with your parish to help you begin or strengthen your ministry with adolescents. We will help you evaluate current efforts, assess needs, set goals, recruit leaders and design effective strategies.

If the junior or senior high youth ministry leaders and/or catechists in your parish (or cluster, region or vicariate) need training, we will design the program and bring it to you!

Book a retreat for young people in your parish, vicariate or cluster! Choose from a menu of retreat topics and members of our diocesan retreat team will come to you.

Find resources and ideas for retreats here and in our mailings, or call for help and advice when designing retreats.

We send periodic mailings (full of great information and resources!) to every pastor, catechetical leader and youth ministry leader. Contact us to get on the mailing list!

Keep up-to-date on youth ministry news by visiting our web site and subscribing to the helpful and informative bi-weekly e-bulletins.

We are always here to answer your youth ministry questions and provide resources!

The Youth Department supports and encourages parish ministry programming, especially collaborative projects that involve multiple parishes. (examples: multi-parish junior high gathering, multi-parish senior high sports leagues, etc.)
