Ministry Network Spotlight: Diocesan Youth Ministry Directors/Leaders

Q&A with Diocesan Youth Ministry Directors/Leaders

Name of Ministry Network – Diocesan Youth Ministry Directors/Leaders

What are you talking about?  At our virtual gathering in October, we were blessed to have Mr. Paul Jarzembowski from the USCCB shared with the group about the Global Celebration of Youth. It was a great learning and sharing of ideas opportunity for diocesan leaders.  Some topics that are being asked/discussed in our Facebook group are: diocesan policies regarding social media/technology use, resources for small faith sharing groups of teens, resources on teen mental health, and more!  Topics for our virtual gatherings come from the members of the ministry network as we want to make sure that what we’re talking about is relevant to what’s going on in youth ministry and the church.

When is your next virtual gathering? Happy Hour Hump Day on February 23, 2022 at 3 p.m. ET. We will be celebrating Mardi Gras!
