Adolescent Faith Formation

The Office of Adolescent Faith Formation serves and supports Faith Formation Leaders who are tasked with coordinating a vibrant youth ministry in their parishes. Additionally, it serves the young people of the Archdiocese by providing programs that help them to have an encounter with Christ and His Church.

The Three Main Goals of Youth Ministry Are:

• to empower young people to live as disciples of Jesus Christ in our world today
• to draw young people to responsible participation in the life, mission, and work of the Catholic faith community
• to foster the total personal and spiritual growth of each young person
