We are Hancock County Catholic Youth.  Here you will find news of upcoming events for our youth and photo albums.

The Youth Ministry Program follows the goals of the USCCB document Renewing the Vision by providing opportunities for education and spiritual growth thru classroom gatherings, retreats and service projects.  We help our youth experience the bigger church through diocesan and national events such as Owensboro Diocese Youth (ODYC) Conference, National Catholic Youth Conference (NCYC) and more.    

As outlined in the USCCB document Renewing the Vision: Three interdependent and equally important goals guide the Church's ministry with adolescents.

• Goal 1: To empower young people to live as disciples of Jesus Christ in our world today.
• Goal 2: To draw young people to responsible participation in the life, mission, and work of the Catholic faith community
• Goal 3: To foster the total personal and spiritual growth of each young person. 

 "You are the future of the world, you are the hope of the Church, you are my hope!"
-St. John Paul II to youth during his Installation Ceremony, 1978

"Dear friends, faith is revolutionary and today I ask you: are you open to entering into this revolutionary wave of faith?  Only by entering into this wave will your young lives make sense and be so fruitful!" - Pope Francis at WYD Rio de Janeiro, 2013
