Youth Ministry Ages 13-17

- Ministries

The Archdiocese of San Francisco supports youth ministry programs that foster the catechesis, moral, and spiritual formation of young people ages 13-17.

**** World Youth Day 2019 deposits due NOW! See details below. ****
Our Goals

Guided by the USCCB’s document, “Renewing the Vision” (1997), our ministry has three goals:

To empower young people to live as disciples of Jesus Christ in our world today

To draw young people into responsible participation in the life, mission and work of the faith community

To foster the personal and spiritual growth of each young person

To accomplish these goals, we offer training, workshops, resources, retreats, and collaboration opportunities for Youth Ministry Leaders within the Archdiocese, as well as training, retreats, and catechetical events for youth themselves.
“Genuine love … is demanding. But its beauty lies precisely in the demands it makes. Only those able to make demands on themselves in the name of love can then demand love from others.”
- St. John Paul II
