CYO Youth Ministry provides opportunities to draw young people into the life and mission of the Catholic faith and civic communities by educating and informing adults who work with young people; providing quality programs, trainings, consultations, and other resources that promote comprehensive ministry to youth.

The Young Adult Ministry is an opportunity to recognize and celebrate the vital role women and men, in their 20s and 30s, single and/or married, play in the church and the wider community by connecting young adults with Jesus Christ, the Church and its mission, and with other young adults.

"All ministry with adolescents must be directed toward presenting young people with the Good News of Jesus Christ and inviting and challenging them to become his disciples...If we are to succeed, we must offer young people a spiritually challenging and world-shaping vision that meets their hunger for the chance to participate in a worthy adventure."
