The office of Youth and Young Adult Ministry is committed to equipping parishes, schools, and missions in the Diocese of Orlando in proactively engaging youth and young adults to encounter Jesus, grow in their faith, and develop the leadership skills to evangelize others and live as active lifelong Catholics.
Ministry Strategy
The ministry strategy of the Office of Youth and Young Adult Ministry leads with a community-based approach that builds on a micro, mezzo, and macro model. This model seeks to engage the local church through the accompaniment process that reviews the needs and assets of a community through a community assessment and establishes how the church can be a beacon for youth in the community. Gathering the data from the community assessment, the diocese will develop a needs assessment that will inform the resources provided to parishes.
