Cathedral Campus Youth Ministry

Cathedral Campus Youth Ministry is a joint ministry of the Cathedral parish and school with and for young people in grades 6 through 12. In August of 2007, more than twenty adult leaders from the parish, school, diocese and wider community came together in prayer to envision a comprehensive program of youth ministry for the Cathedral based upon the plan of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishop’s, Renewing the Vision. Since that time, the young people of the parish and school have been engaged in a number of activities including the restoration of the Youth Room on the second floor of the Elementary School Building; the blazing of a trail and setting of outdoor Stations of the Cross at Our Lady Queen of Peace Retreat Center in Dancyville, Tennessee; service at the Dorothy Day House of Hospitalty and the Poor Clare's Monastery; canoe and camping trips; Bible Trivia and lots of Ultimate Frisbee.

Regular weekly meetings of CCYM occur on Sunday afternoons in the Youth Room from 4:30 until 6:00 p.m. Meetings generally consist of song, prayer, program, and faith sharing. In addition to these weekly meetings, CCYM engages in a number of other activities, centered around service and fellowship.

There are a number of ways to support the ministry of CCYM:

- The most important of these is prayer. Those who are involved in CCYM represent the young church of today. They are faced with a number of important choices, including the choice of life-style and vocation. They need all of our prayers.

- If you are of the ages between 10 and 19, or in grades 6 through 12, get involved. Attend the regular weekly meetings or pick another event to get your feet wet. If you have ideas, especially for ways in which CCYM can provide service to the parish, school, or wider community, let us know.

- If you are an adult with a special talent or story to tell, let us know by calling the parish office at 725-2700. You can visit our Facebook page at Cathedral Campus Youth Ministry.

If you would like to make a monetary contribution to CCYM to support the ministry, make your check payable to the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception and designate your gift for CCYM.
