Other Training

One of the most important roles of a diocesan office is to provide resources, consultation and training for pastors, parish staff and volunteers. To successfully accomplish this role, the Office for Catechesis - Ministry to Youth and Young Adults provides the following:

• Workshops on how to develop and sustain parish youth ministry.
• Communication links that describe the youth and young adult ministry services available.
• Networking and retreat opportunities for parish staff and volunteers in youth and young adult ministry.
• Promotion of youth and young adult ministry programs in parishes throughout the diocese, inviting pastors to consider the benefits of catechizing young people to preserve the future of the Catholic faith.
• A diocesan youth ministry webpage that has information to attract and catechize youth to grow in the Catholic faith.
