World Youth Day NH

The National Federation for Catholic Youth Ministry (NFCYM) provides the following awards as a service to dioceses to help promote and advocate for youth ministry leadership. The purpose of these awards is to recognize adults and youth who have contributed consistently and creatively on the parish/school and diocesan levels. The hope is that we will encourage young people and adults to serve the church in the area of youth ministry.

Awards will be presented at the local level by the pastor (or his designee) and accompanied by a personal letter to the recipient from the Most Reverend Peter A. Libasci.
