Youth and Young Adult Ministry
Together We Can Build a Church the Shares God's Love with the Young

Who is OYYA?

The Office of Youth and Young Adult Ministry (OYYA) seeks to recruit, train, empower, and support ministry leaders to minister effectively to youth (in junior high and high school) and young adults (age 18 to 39).  We seek to evangelize our young people, train and mentor them in the Catholic way of life and help them to discern how Jesus is calling them to use their God-given gifts for the good of all God's people.

We model authentic Christian community.

We cultivate servant leadership.

We encounter others as Christ does.

 We deliver the beauty of the Gospel into people's lives.
