The Archdiocese Youth Ministry encourages full participation in the life of the Church through worship, witness, service, and fellowship. This department trains youth leaders, organizes events, provides consultation for youth leaders and pastors across the archdiocese, maintains youth-related data and a cache of ministry resources, and oversees programs such as the Bible Bowl and the Oratorical Festival.

This year’s Bible Bowl is on the Gospel of Matthew, and the theme of the Oratorical Festival is Matthew 18:3.
