Vision Statement

The Office for Youth Ministry is committed to drawing young people into a deeper relationship with Jesus Christ and the life and mission of our Catholic faith.  We accomplish this by providing adults the necessary formation, resources, quality programs and services needed to educate and encourage youth in the faith; and by providing opportunities at the diocesan level for youth to encounter, follow, and learn to share Jesus Christ. 

What We Offer

In addition to our diocesan youth events, our office desires to be in service to the youth ministry needs of the parishes and deaneries of Western Kentucky.  We are more than willing to accompany a group of adult leaders in your parish in strategically planning, and visioning a youth ministry model that will work in your unique parish situation.  We also desire to pour into and support youth leaders with prayer, networking, formation, and spiritual renewal.  Please feel free to let us know how we can help.
