The Office of Catholic Youth strives to assist all parishes in establishing comprehensive and sustainable youth ministry efforts and practices for young people in their pre-teen and teenage years. The OCY assists parishes with establishing ministries from the ground up. The OCY also works alongside existing youth ministries to help them expand and grow their offerings for young people. The office provides formation, training, cross-parish networking, retreats, parish-based summer camp support and program resources. The OCY also oversees a comprehensive online "basecamp" that enables all 100 or so parish youth ministries to liaise, support, resource and communicate with each other seamlessly and productively.
