Adult Formation and Certification

The Office of Youth Ministry is committed to strengthening the youth ministry programs in the diocese by offering opportunities to full-time, part-time or volunteer youth ministers to continue their formation through a variety of different programs. 

Adult Formation-
Beginning in the fall of 2012, we will offer a 2-year program to train adults using the components for a comprehensive ministry with adolescents from “Renewing the Vision: A Framework for Catholic Youth Ministry”.

CYM Lunch Network-
Youth ministers from throughout the diocese come together for lunch once a month to share ideas and thoughts on youth ministry. 

Certification-
This program is for youth ministers that would like a more comprehensive formation program and would like to work towards a Basic Certificate in Youth Ministry.  For more information on these programs, please click on these links:
