Wanted: Your Youth Ministry Memories
Catholic Youth Ministry will be celebrating the
75th anniversary of organized ministry to young people during the 2006-2007
program year. To allow us to celebrate 75 years of service all year long, the
staff of Catholic Youth Ministry is seeking stories and pictures from those
involved throughout the years. We want to know how Catholic Youth Ministry has
challenged, improved, and supported young people over the years in their faith
journey. Which youth ministry leaders (including coaches, religious educators,
youth group leaders, priests and sisters) have contributed to your formation?
What short story can you tell us that others will want to hear? We hope to
collect enough stories in writing to share them weekly on the diocesan website
and to collect some stories on tape to allow web site visitors to click a button
to hear a three to four minute story of CYM’s history. Most of the pictures
collected will be used as part of the CYM 75th
Anniversary Gala, Friday, April 27, 2007 at the Clayton Center on the
University of Delaware Campus in Newark. If you have a story or photos to share,
please contact CYM at 302.658.3800 or via email at
catholicyouth@cdow.org.
