The Office was created in the Diocese of Lafayette to coach youth ministry efforts in parishes. Fulfilling the desire of the great commission, our goal is forming servant leaders for Jesus Christ with all Youth and Young Adults ministers. My hope is that we assist in discerning and implementing the vision that God is calling for your parish.
"Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your minds, so that you may discern what is the will of God—what is good and acceptable and perfect." -Romans 12:2.
Our goal is to offer touchpoints (Relational Ministry-driven encounters) and support with the four Deaneries. Each quarter, we will review our touchpoints and help further the vision of effective youth ministry in parishes post-Confirmation. We will effectively accomplish these tasks through the following:
RETREATS | ZOOM COHORTS | LEADERSHIP SYMPOSIUMS
Our office aims, through prayer, to allow the Holy Spirit to guide our steps.
Our efforts are to accompany successful ministry efforts post-college into early family development.
