The Office of Youth Ministry, Young Adult Ministry, and the University Apostolate supports youth ministry, young adult ministry, campus ministry, and Catholic Scouting across the Archdiocese of New York. We help parishes, deaneries, and universities create spaces where middle school students, high school students, college students, and young adults ages 18–35 can encounter Jesus, grow in their Catholic faith, build community, and put their faith into action through service and leadership. We also support the parents, families, and leaders who accompany them along the way. We have more than 130 active parish youth ministries, young adult ministries, and campus ministries across our Archdiocese. Learn more about these ministries below.
