Young Adult Ministry Handbook
Our Young Adult Ministry Handbook is the result of a nine month collaborative process involving the work of our Diocesan Young Adult Advisory committee and readers from parish and diocesan ministries. This handbook serves to provide a vision for young adult ministry based on documents of the United States Catholic Conference of Bishops and the lived experience of those in ministry with young adults. It unfolds for you services and programs offered by our diocesan offices to assist you in developing ministry with young adults in parish, cluster and regional settings. For assistance in developing young adult ministry please contact our office.

of Lansing and in our neighboring dioceses. (more)
