Youth Ministry Guidelines
Below are diocesan guidelines, recommendations, and procedures for parish youth ministry. These guidelines are meant to help parishes in the pastoral ministry to adolescents ages 12-17. The following documents should be a source of help in the preparation for the work you do with youth. These guidelines are a living document with the full intent of periodic revisions to meet the needs of a changing world and always to respond with the deepest care for our youth. If you are a new youth minister to our diocese and/or employed for less than 18 months, please contact Victora Ramon to schedule a 1:1 orientation.
