Welcome to the Diocese of Grand Island Youth and Young Adult Ministry Website. This site is meant to be a resource for youth and young adults throughout western Nebraska. Take a look at our online photo gallery to see pictures of recent youth events, and learn more about how you can be involved in upcoming events.

Fundraising

One of the most important things to any effective ministry is being able to survive financially. In Youth Ministry, this generally means that youth groups are required to do some fundraising to help pay for events that are not in the annual budget. Here are some links that include fundraising ideas that can be used in the parish to help pay for trips, retreats and other activities.

Teens Encounter Christ

We are excited this year to partner with Thriva, LLC, a division of the Active Network to process Teens Encounter Christ Registrations and payments electronically.  This allows a parent/guardian to create an account that will save all of their information and then they can use the same information to register for other events in the future.  When registering for events through this system, payment will be required with either a credit card or electronic check.  Click Here to register for a 2009-2010 Teens Encounter Christ event.
