The Office of Youth and Young Adult Ministry is hosting a Youth Minister Formation Day at the St. John Neumann Pastoral Center (146 Metlars Lane Piscataway, NJ 08854) on October 19th from 9:00 am-2:00 pm.
This is a wonderful opportunity for all who minister to youth (or who have the desire to!) to gather together for fellowship and formation. Youth ministers, youth ministry volunteer teams, PCL's, catechists, and priests are welcome to join.
This is a day intended to train, encourage, connect, and renew us in our roles in ministry to Youth. It is a day that will allow our local diocesan community of Youth Workers to show us that we are not alone in our service to young people.
The day will include the opportunity to come together in fellowship, receive training from Vice President of Ablaze Ministries, Chris Bartlett, as well as celebrate the Holy Mass together. Lunch is included.
