Mother of Divine Providence Parish Youth Ministry

Mother of Divine Providence Parish Youth Ministry is an age-specific religious ministry and is the way in which a faith group, or other religious organization involves and engages with the young people who attend its place of worship, or live in its community.

MDPPYM usually encompass one or more of the following:

- Encouraging young people who profess a faith to learn more about it and become more involved in spiritual life.

- Providing open youth clubs or other activities for the common good of the young people, sometimes without an overtly religious agenda.


As well as organizing events and activities, MDPPYM usually include some form of religious indoctrination and a pastoral oversight of the young people.


The Catholic Youth

Catholic youth work covers a world wide range of activities carried out with young people, usually in the name of the Catholic Church and with the intention of imparting the Catholic faith to them and inviting them to practice and live out the faith in their lives.

Activities in the field range from small scale youth groups attached to parishes or Catholic schools, to large international gatherings, such as World Youth Day.


In contrast, though, the new and exciting developments of recent decades and particularly the influence of the new movements within the church are ensuring that youth work continues to be an active and fruitful field.


The Laity; Catholic Young People

Unlike the case in some Protestant churches, a youth minister in the Roman Catholic Church is not a member of the clergy.

Ministry, including youth ministry, is considered one of the functions within the Church because most believe that people should start learning about God at a young age so they have more time to grow spiritually through adulthood.

Therefore, it is more likely for a Catholic youth minister or youth ministry leader to be a lay person, rather than an ordained priest.
