Now in its fourteenth year, the CYM Annual Recognition Dinner shines a light on the best and the brightest leaders in youth ministry. Who will you nominate or name as award winners from your parish? All nominations and submissions for the annual recognition dinner are due to the CYM office by April 4, 2018.

The ARD allows parishes or schools to name one Volunteer of the Year to recognize anyone 21 years or older and cleared for service in the diocese and who is an outstanding volunteer with young people. This person could be a chaperone, a catechist, a Confirmation leader, or even someone who helps keep the website up to date. This is not a nomination. The person named will receive the award. Each parish/school is challenged to name the person most deserving. 

The St. Timothy National Youth Award is given to up to two young people who are a junior or senior high school youth from each parish or school. It is the highest recognition from the National Federation for Catholic Youth Ministry and CYM. Name one or two young people who live as disciples of Christ, sets a positive example for other youth, witnesses to their faith by exhibiting Catholic morals and integrity, demonstrates Gospel values through service to others, and exhibits Christian leadership in parish, school, and/or community settings. This is not a nomination. The person named will receive the award.
