Honor those YOUTH & ADULTS that share their time, Talent and Treasure

Each of our parishes and high schools are blessed year after year with many fine and gifted teens and adults that contribute to the life and mission of our parishes and schools by the sharing of their time, talent and treasures.

Designed as a tool to lift up role models in youth ministry, the National Federation for Catholic Youth Ministry (NFCYM) National Recognitions in Youth Ministry affirms, acknowledges, and empowers young people and adults who provide authentic, credible, and competent witness to the Gospel in their parish or schools.
