Through a variety of opportunities, events and outreach, Catholic Education Ministries seeks to draw parish catechetical and youth ministry leaders, as well as young people, into responsible participation in the life, work and mission of the Church within their parish and diocesan community.We believe this ministry is to, with, by and for young people and is a blessing for the entire community.

The Diocesan Youth Council is made up of Youth in grades 9-12 from a variety of parishes from across the diocese. These youth meet 5-6 times annually. The DYC help plan and assist in the implementation of Diocesan Sponsored Youth Ministry events. These events are primarily, but not exclusive to, the Annual Diocesan Senior High and Junior High Youth Rallies.
