Catholic Youth Leadership Camp
It's Happening!
This Diocesan Catholic Youth Leadership Camp is designed to empower and equip young people to return to their parishes ready to respond to the call to mission and leadership. Damascus Catholic Mission will be partnering with the Diocese of Knoxville for this camp. Damascus specializes in high adventure camp activities in order to foster high adventure faith.
The hope is to have the participation of at least two high school youth from every parish in the diocese, but parishes can certainly send more than 2 teens as well.
Of course, all youth ministry leaders are invited to join in this camp experience!

Confirmation Survey
To Assess Parish Needs
This survey has been commissioned to assist the Office of Youth, Young Adult, & Pastoral Juvenil Ministry and the Office of Christian Formation in evaluating which resources have worked best for parishes regarding the Confirmation changes announced in 2016 and to assess where parishes stand in the transition. Please have a pastor, DRE, or youth ministry leader from your parish fill out this brief parish survey by Friday, May 6th (the deadline has been extended).
