Youth Ministry
The Diocese of Manchester, Youth Ministry, helps young people to know Christ and deepen their faith.
Through prayer, professional development, and youth events we integrate young people into the life, mission, and work of the Catholic community.
We are inspired by the Holy Spirit, and guided by Scripture and Tradition.

Global Celebration of Youth & Young Adults
In November of 2020, Pope Francis called for a renewal of the celebration of World Youth Day, moving the diocesan celebration from Palm Sunday to Christ the King Sunday starting in 2021.
This celebration will allow our local churches to communicate this important pastoral message to the young on a day focused on Jesus, our Lord and King. This year, the Feast of Christ the King falls on November 21, 2021.
For a list of resources for celebrating the Global Celebration of Youth & Young Adults, please visit the links below. A special guidebook, released on October 1, 2021, is available through the USCCB.
