Youth Leader Formation

Thursday, February 16th

Thank you to those of you who joined us this past month for our St. John Bosco Planning Day. It was a fruitful day of planning and visioning for the upcoming year in our parishes. We'll come back to these discussions at the upcoming Regional Gatherings - we're looking forward to seeing you at them!

This year, we're launching days of recollection for anyone who is invested in the life of high school teens in the Church, including youth ministers, parents, catechists, and other invested adults. The first hope of these days of recollection is for those who pour themselves out for the youth have a time each month to have a mini-retreat and dive deeper in their interior life. The second hope is to work together to brainstorm and push ourselves further in our formation, so we give the best to the teens in our parishes. RSVP for the upcoming Day of Recollection below.
