We all desire for young people to encounter Christ and to follow Him.

Priests are invited to join the Secretariat for Evangelization and Discipleship and Andrew Ministries for this important discussion on the Archdiocese of Boston’s vision for youth ministry on September 11th.  Then, plan on coming back with your parish teams (staff and volunteers) to one of the sessions (9/26, 9/27, or 9/28) that works best for you.

The Catholic Church is losing our young people and our future depends on reversing this trend. Effective ministry to young people does not depend upon large budgets and paid staff to meet the needs of our youth. All pastors/priests/clergy are encouraged to attend a presentation on “The Art of Forming Young Disciples,” by leading youth ministry expert, Everett Fritz. During this presentation, we will begin to discuss our long-term strategy for youth and campus ministry in the Archdiocese and how we are preparing to support this effort.
