Anyone who serves youth in the parish or school is welcome to participate in these regular gatherings of youth ministers in the diocese. The two main purposes of these meetings are for youth ministers to come together to learn from and support one another and to learn more about resources that are available for youth ministers.
Pilgrimage information is now available! Plans include spending a day in Fatima, participating in the "Days in the Diocese" program, and the World Youth Day events in Madrid. Departure date is August 9, 2011 and returning August 22, 2011.
