With the current limits on the number of people that can gather indoors for Mass and other gatherings, it will not be possible to host the Youth Ministry Recognition Ceremony at the Cathedral Basilica in November as we usually do.   Instead we want to offer the opportunity for our Archdiocesan Catholic High Schools and our Parishes to present the awards at the School or Parish.   This could be done during a ceremony or Mass.   Learn more and submit your Award Recipients by November 20th by visiting the Youth Ministry Awards page. 

This Fall we invite all Youth Ministry Leaders - Youth Ministers, Volunteers, Clery and more to join us each month for a FREE Virtual Formation Series.
