"Let love be genuine; hate what is evil, hold fast to what is good; love one another with mutual affection; outdo one another in showing honor. Do not lag in zeal, be ardent in spirit, serve the Lord. Rejoice in hope, be patient in suffering, persevere in prayer. Contribute to the needs of the saints' extend hospitality to strangers." -- Romans 12: 9-13 --
Welcome Youth Ministers, Parish Leaders and Adult Core Members!
Our annual ELEVATE Teens training day will be held on Sunday September 14, 2025 at St Bonaventure Parish (1300 Leslie Street, North York, ON).
For 10+ years, the Office of Catholic Youth organizes a two-day training to help adults (on Saturday) and teens (on Sunday) not only get the fundamental training to execute youth ministry at their parishes, but continue to go deeper in keeping experienced leaders up to date with trends and topics relevant to working with high school youth and older elementary kids. Through speakers, workshops and networking, it provides options and opportunities for the Catholic youth ministry community to grow and develop in their local parishes and for each attendee.
This form allows for solo and group registrations (teams of 10, including YM or Parish Leader) for seamless invoicing post-training. If your team is 10+ members and requires a second registration, no worries! Simply fill out another round with the YM and Parish Leader's information as the main contact, and email mcabrera@archtoronto.org to combine both registrations for 1 invoice.
