Our first priority is to help families and/or parishes find easy ways to form their families and youth in their faith. There are many simple options for both gathered and non-gathered youth ministry. For gathered ministry you will require a small team of committed adults/parents to make this happen. There are a number of resources that can be borrowed from the office as well. Please contact us to see how we can help.
What We Do
“YOU.”
The YOU program, is a 10-session program, with dynamic, updated videos included, that teaches the real meaning of love and sexuality as taught by the Catholic Church. It also covers hot topics that may not be covered anywhere else. It is a must for Catholic teens age 14 and up.
New Evangelization Team (NET)
NET is a team of young adults who travel across Canada or are assigned to a parish/diocese for one year to provide Catholic retreats to young people through parishes and schools. We support and organize the NET team’s visit in the diocese once a year. For more information about NET, visit www.netcanada.ca . Anyone interested in serving a year on NET should check out the site as well. To book a retreat in the Diocese of Pembroke, contact our office for dates and availability.
