YMCLT Planning Retreat!
The YMCLT will be coming together on Saturday, June 20th to pray, talk about our mission, and strategically plan our ministry calendar. We pray God will bless our efforts as we earnestly try to meet teens and families where they're at to help them grow in their love of Christ, His Church, and their local church. Besides the planning retreat, the team meets monthly throughout the year to grow in their own faith, to coordinate a comprehensive ministry done, to, by, for, and with our young church.

Why Training?
Youth Ministry is much more than youth group, dances and service projects. It involves facilitating a comprehensive, parish– or school-wide effort that integrates young people into the life, mission and work of the Catholic faith community as disciples of Jesus Christ. It involves faith formation; volunteer recruitment, training and management; leadership development for youth and adults; paraprofessional counseling; expertise in prayer and worship, and much more. Our youth deserve our very best. Training leads directly to quality and effectiveness in youth ministry.
For Whom?
Adults who serve Catholic youth in a significant way should receive training for their roles, specifically:
The Office of Youth and Young Adult Ministry (OYYAM) offers various levels of training which correspond to the levels and kinds of roles that leaders play in youth ministry.
Online Training is a Basic Level training, designed to provide fundamentals for those new to the ministry, or those who haven’t received training.
Intermediate Training picks up where basic training leaves off and provides knowledge, skills and practical wisdom for those who want to grow more effective in their youth ministry as volunteers or part-timers.
The Training Program for Professional Youth Ministry Leaders is designed for those who fill, or will be filling, part-time or full-time roles directing or coordinating youth ministry in a parish or school. This could be on-site training that helps address the needs of your particular youth ministry program, or individual training that leads to any of these competencies:
