What We Do

CYA Ministry’s mission is to support the Catholic Church in the spiritual outreach and growth of young adults.

 

Who We Are

CYA Ministry was founded to advocate and support Catholic young adult ministry in the American Church. Using Christus Vivit, Pope Francis’ document on young adults, as a foundation, our ministry develops both published resources and training for leaders. We help lead the dialogue on young adult ministry in best practice for evangelization.

 

“Jesus does not teach you, young people, from afar or from without you, but from within your very youth, a youth He shares with you.”

— Pope Francis

 

Our Goals

  • Develop and publish resources that are relevant and accessible for any leader in young adult ministry to use

  • Make available avenues and opportunities for leaders to receive training in best practice for their local ministry

  • Network young adult leaders in the national dialogue to better synthesize new ideas in the ministry field
