The Office of Youth Ministry & Young Adult Ministry & the University Apostolate collaborates with and supports four unique ministries within the Archdiocese of New York. We provide opportunities, formation, and resources for leaders in parishes, deaneries, and universities to catechize and evangelize middle school and high school teenagers, college students, young adults (ages 18–35), and Catholic Scouts, helping them put their faith in Jesus into action.
