We support schools, parishes and Church leaders in their mission to prepare youth and young adults to hear and respond to the call of Jesus Christ. We focus on high school age students up until the college level (ages 13-21). Our mission is to inculcate in our youth the awareness that they belong not only to a “universal” Church but also to a parish that needs their involvement and commitment.
We offer training, formation, networking, support, consulting, and events for youth and young leaders.
We collaborate with all of the other youth initiatives within the archdiocese which include, but are not limited to the Vocations Office, University Apostolate, Young Adult Leaders, Retreat Programs, the Catechetical Office, C.Y.O. and the Superintendent of Schools, etc.
