Welcome to the online presence of the CYO/Youth & Young Adult Ministry Office for the Archdiocese of New Orleans.

The site is organized into the following major areas: events and programs of the office, resources and support for youth and young adult ministry, and a personalized account area for youth ministers that includes insurance management, discussion forums, and directories. All areas contain downloadable documents and links to further resources.

2010 Summer Trip: Universal Orlando

Last Updated on Friday, 05 March 2010 01:35 Written by JRS

In the years alternating NCYC (even-numbered years), our office has sponsored a summer trip for interested parish youth groups for two important outreaches and purposes: 1) to provide small youth groups unable alone to fill a motorcoach with the chance to travel, 2) to provide newer youth ministers with a guided experience of trip planning. In doing so both the community life of a parish youth ministry program and the training of adult leaders is enhanced. The 2010 Summer Trip will be to Universal Studios in Orlando for $550 per person, inclusive of motorcoach transportation, hotel, all admissions, and half of the meals. Please see the attached flyer for registration details and the initial deposit deadline of April 20, 2010.
