Catholic Youth & Young Adult Ministry
2010 Summer Trip Survey
In the years alternating NCYC (even-numbered years), our office has sponsored a summer trip for interested parish youth groups. Recent trips include San Antonio in 2006 and Walt Disney World in 2008. For 2010 we are considering either a return to San Antonio, a trip to Chicago, or to Universal Studios Orlando. In the past the trip has served 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. We are beginning planning for a trip in late July 2010 and need to know 1) if your parish is interested in general, and 2) which of the above three destinations you most prefer. All three itineraries have been run by John Smestad on prior youth trips. Please contact John at 504-836-0551, ext 23 or at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.

Network Support Meetings

These gatherings are opportunities for parish youth ministers and other involved adults to meet, pray, share the successes and challenges of their ministries, exchange ideas, and receive program updates from archdiocesan staff.
