Youth

Youth Ministry (also called adolescent catechesis) involves a mix of classroom curriculum, service projects, retreats, events and formation that moves young people from simply learning about their faith to living their faith everyday. Below is a list of upcoming events, opportunities and the theological basis for adolescent catechesis in the United States and in our diocese.
