Catholic Youth Ministry 

The Office of Catholic Youth Ministry is now accepting nominations for the 2019 St. Timothy Award for youth and the Companions on the Journey Award for adults for their leadership and contributions to youth ministry. Nominations are due by Friday, January 25, 2019. Award recipients will be selected by the Office of Catholic Youth Ministry and receive their awards at the Cathedral of Saints Peter and Paul on Sunday, March 3.

Pat Kane, our Associate Director of Catholic Youth Ministry and Director of the Rejoice in Hope Youth Center received a National Youth Ministry Award in Leadership Thursday evening, December 7th at the National Conference of Catholic Youth Ministry in Tampa, Florida.  The award was given in recognition for her contributions to youth ministry on the local, regional, and/or national level. The award is given to an adult who exhibits behaviors and practices that serve as a model to others involved in ministry with young people. 

Congratulations Pat Kane!

 
Internationally known musician Tony Melendez along with his brother Jose visited
our Diocese November 8th and 9th.  More than 1500 youth and adults attended the three events planned by the Office of Catholic Youth Ministry. 
Their message of hope, encouragement and faith was deeply moving for all who attended the events.

Congratulations to Mr. Leo Fontaine who has been appointed as the new Director of the Fr. Marot CYO Center.

The Father Marot CYO Center has relocated all of its programming from 53/77 Federal Street by becoming tenants at the St Stanislaus Kostka Parish facilities at 174 Harris Avenue in Woonsocket.  The CYO Center housed primarily in the parish rectory will maintain its current phone number (762-3252) and mailing address (PO Box 518).  Please pray for the continued fruitfulness of this important ministry for youth.

Beginning in 2016, the Catholic Youth Ministry of the Diocese of Providence started hosting a grief support group for high school teens on the 2nd and 4th Monday of each month from 7:00 - 8:30 p.m. at the Rejoice in Hope Youth Center in Cranston. The support group will offer a safe haven for teens to discuss the process of grief and what it means to them. Each session will focus on a new area of grief. Please RSVP to 942-6571 if planning on attending and spread the word to anyone in this age group who may be experiencing a painful loss.
