The Catholic Youth Organization (CYO) is a parish-based program which provides opportunities for youth to grow in faith and understanding of their Church through involvement in parish, regional, and Archdiocesan life.
The Catholic Youth Organization’s five phase approach to youth ministry — athletic, social, cultural, service, spiritual — is a model of youth ministry which involves youth from grades five through twelve in youth-related activities and programs.
Through a total youth ministry concept, the Catholic Youth Organization collaborates all of the youth-related programs offered by the parish. The emphasis of the Catholic Youth Organization is to enable and empower youth to become responsible participants in their faith community.
