Youth Ministry E - News 

Catholic to the Core

The latest Youth Ministry Resource Manual will help the
young people in your diocese embrace the fullness of our
Catholic identity at time when many young people are wondering
what it means to be Catholic. The sessions take them inside
the various beliefs, traditions, and practices that externally
mark one a Catholic that they may discover the richness and
deeper meaning of their own Catholic identity in today_s world.
Purchase the manuals, posters, and prayer cards for your
diocese today! http://www.nfcym.org/resources/ymrm
