Planning for Dynamic Catholic Youth Ministry

GROW Ministry Training is excited to partner with the San Juan Diego Ministry Institute of the Diocese of Brownsville to offer this course in Summer 2023.

Course Description: Planning for Dynamic Catholic Youth Ministry is a workshop designed to help parish leaders come to fuller understanding of comprehensive youth ministry and help parish leaders create a leadership structure for youth ministry that includes youth and adults. The workshop explores the ways that a parish can effectively minister to young people within the context of the parish, including the family and wider community. This workshop also helps parishes assess their current strengths and weakness, identify resources for youth ministry, and develop a practical plan for developing more effective ministry with adolescents

Target Audience: This workshop is for parish staff, parish leaders, and interested youth ministry volunteers, including young people. This will work best with parishes that wish to plan for a season of ministry and currently have no youth ministry, or who have a limited approach.

About the Instructor: Angel Barrera has over twenty years of experience in ministry with youth and families in parish, campus ministry, diocesan, and national settings. He holds an M.A. in Religious Studies and an M.Ed. in Curriculum and Instruction. He currently works with the Diocese of Brownsville and the Catholic Leadership Institute. He also provides parish training and consulting through GROW Ministry Training.

Schedule: Saturday, August 12, 2023, from 9 AM to 3 PM

The cost is $20/pp. We encourage you to bring a team of three to five people to foster collaboration, share ideas, and create a more well-rounded youth ministry design.
