Youth Ministry

The office of youth ministry exists to help churches better minister to the middle and high school students of their parish. We exist to serve the priests and lay ministers of this diocese as they strive to introduce young people to the life of the Catholic faith.

Looking for training and resrouces to help you minister to young people? Contact Mike Armstrong (the Director of Youth and Young Adult Ministry) or visit our youth ministry resource page here: Youth Ministry Resources
