Another great gathering of passion for serving the youth, supporting one another and coming up with some great ideas. In addition to the ideas generated from the 1:1 meetings I've had with Youth Ministers, the following is a list of other possibilities:
- Progressive Dinner (sponsored by a regional parish and volunteer families)
- Clam Digging and Clam Bake
- Priest/Seminarian/Vocation Day - a talk with a social
- Organized regional effort around evangelization within public schools- research into how Young Life is meeting in schools
- "LA Religious Education Congress" for Region III
- Topics for future trainings: Getting parents involvement in YM, refresher on Comprehensive Youth Ministry, acceptable technology standards,
- Regional retreat for YM and YM Volunteers
- Regional Mentor Program
- Prayer partner at each regional gathering (rotational, great way to get to know other ministers)
An updated ACCY (Diocesian and Regional) approach was shared and feedback given. Feeback included:
- needing more clearly defined roles/responsibilities for both diocesian and regional ACCY leaders
- it may make sense to pull from the regional group to feed into the diocesian ACCY
June 5th was the date set by OYYAM to discuss this updated ACCY approach but it was recommended to move the date to late May.
I know I left the meeting energized for what lies ahead for Region III. I continue to be amazed at how God is working through your ministries. You are all always in my prayers!
Please see other blog posts for more announcements. Please leave your comments if I've forgotten anything!
Felix (Our Lady Star of the Sea) has offered to host the next Region III gathering. More to come soon about our next gathering.
