What a blessed weekend spending time with a group of committed faithful attending Year 1 of CMD's Certificate for Youth Ministry Studies. Equipped with a better framework about Youth Ministry, I am energized to see how I can better serve those in my home parish and the region. There was a strong representation from REGION III - Danny from St Nicholas, Carmen from the Tacoma cluster and a handful of new friends from the Korean Catholic Community Church of Tacoma.
If you were thinking about the courses - I highly encourage you to consider signing up for the next class being held April 24-25. You can start at any point of the program. Let me know if you have any questions!

Region III Gathering and Lenten Reflection
Greetings!
I recently sent an email out soliciting dates that will work for you and/or your volunteers to gather as REGION III. I'm starting to hear back from folks and am getting excited to plan our upcoming gathering.
In case you need the proposed dates again - here they are:
Please reply by Feb 19th with the date(s) that would work best for you:
Monday, March 15 10:00 a.m. - 1:00 p.m.
Tuesday, March 16 5:30 p.m. - 8:30 p.m.
Monday, March 29 5:30 p.m. - 8:30 p.m.
Tuesday, March 30 10:00 a.m. - 1:00 p.m.
***Food will be provided at all gatherings!***
Based on the responses, I will confirm via email ONE DAY meeting and ONE EVENING meeting. Please choose the date(s) that would work with you. I will do my best to secure a location that is most central for those attending the confirmed dates (will this require a miracle or what?!).
The work you do for our Catholic church by ministering to the youth is amazing! I look forward to supporting the efforts of Region III with all of you! Please let me know if you have any questions.
Peace,
Mary Galvez

Check out this opportunity: Youth Ministry Studies
Interested in gaining confidence in your role with youth? Do you need a way of gaining credibility, but don’t have the time for a degree?
The Youth Ministry Studies program is a ministry education program for those in ministry with youth, ages 11 to 18, in both parish and school settings. It equips leaders with the knowledge, skills, practical tools and techniques needed for creative and comprehensive ministry with youth. Recognized by the Archdiocese, these programs provide a solid foundation in catechetical formation and a specialized education in ministry involving adolescent youth.
The program includes eight courses. The primary aim of the program is to promote personal, spiritual and ministerial growth. Participating leaders will experience confidence, competence and credibility in their roles in youth ministry.
Courses will be offered on the weekends at our office in Seattle. The first course is coming up on February 27 – 28th! Find out more about the Youth Ministry Studies program on our website here and learn more about the Center for Ministry Development here.
Interested in signing up or getting more info? Contact Britta.Folden@SeattleArch.org.
