Youth Minister Handbook

The Office of Youth Ministry provides a handbook for all youth ministers in the Archdiocese. The handbook contains guidelines, resources and important information that every youth minister should use as a reference tool in their ministry. New sections have been added recently, so please check the list below and download the sections needed to update previous handbook editions.

If you are a new youth minister and have not received a copy of this handbook or have not met with the Director of this office, please call Barb Garvin at (404) 885-7231 to schedule a meeting. We would love to welcome you to ministry and discuss with you the resources available through this office.
