The Diocese of Indianapolis has invited Mary Beth Abplanalp from Ministry Architects to facilitate monthly meetings for paid, volunteer, lay, and ordained youth ministry leaders across the diocese.

It is our hope that you and others across our diocese serving with young people will attend as often as you’re able, to be nourished and equipped for fulfilling and effective youth ministry leadership.

Please click here to register for the monthly meetings; upon registration, the Zoom link will be sent to your email inbox.

The virtual youth ministry cohort had its first Zoom meeting on August 31, but you are still welcome to register and attend the upcoming meetings regardless of previous attendance.

We hope you can attend, and we look forward to fruitful discussions amongst our diocesan youth ministries. If you have any questions, please reach out to Mary Beth Abplanalp at marybeth.abplanalp@ministryarchitects.com.
