In the evenings, the teams are asked to do other works of ministry, including leading adult discussion nights, teen nights and family nights.

CONTINUING EVENTS

CYAC - Catholic Youth Advisory Council
This is an active leadership youth council that creates, promotes and leads two Diocesan Youth days a year. In the fall Youth Celebration is held for 9th thru 12th grade and in the spring Youth Rally is held for 6th thru 8th grade.
Youth members and their adult advisors live throughout the Diocese of Fargo. They come together five times during the year to prepare and implement the Diocesan Youth days. If you are interested in being on CYAC you need to be in the tenth grade, have an adult advisor that can come with you to each of the five sessions and be willing to share and grow in your spirituality of the Catholic faith. If you enjoy brainstorming, collaborating with others, and making things rich in spirituality happen for the teens of the Diocese of Fargo, you are a candidate for CYAC. Contact Kathy Loney in the Diocesan Youth Office, 701-356-7902 or Kathy.loney@fargodiocese.org. She’s waiting to hear from you today!
