Youth Ministry

The Youth Ministry Office provides programs to bring our high school youth together in hopes that they will share their enthusiasm for their faith with youth their own age.

Its goals are: fostering the total personal and spiritual growth of youth and young adults; and drawing youth and young adults toward responsible participation in the life, mission, and work of the faith community. The office provides resources, retreats, rallies, conferences, camp, training, and in-services.

Youth Ministry Retreat

We warmly invite all diocesan youth ministers to a one-day retreat. We will have a retreat director
guide our time together as we renew, reconnect, and rest in the Lord through Adoration and Mass,
with Confession available. Lunch and dinner are provided. No work, no business – just an
opportunity for you who serve our young people all year long to have a retreat and rest in the Lord.

See forms below to sign up!
