Welcome
kia ora and welcome to the Auckland Catholic Youth Ministry Website.

Our vision for youth and young adult ministry:
"Youth and Young Adults are engaged in the mission of the Catholic Church; empowered and equipped to become Disciples of Christ today"

Goals for youth and young adult ministry:

1. To empower young people to live as disciples of Jesus Christ in our world today

2. To draw young people to responsible participation in the life, mission and work of the Catholic faith community

3. To foster the total personal and spiritual growth of each young person

A Youth Advisory Council has been established to develop a strategic direction for Youth Ministry in the Auckland Diocese and to be the conjuit between the Bishop and the regions of the Diocese.  The Council is made up of representatives from each region of the Diocese   This group comes together monthly to talk and plan.  Check out the regions page for information about the representatives and what's happening in each community.

Our Logo
LogoOur logo is divided into four sections representing "Nga Hau E Wha" - The four winds.  This symbolises the coming together of people from all four corners of the earth.

The six squares represent the six regions of our diocese, namely Taitokerau, North Shore, West Auckland, City and Central Auckland, East Auckland and South Auckland.

The Koru shape in the background acknowledges our past and the Maori people who share a unique role in Aotearoa New Zealand.

The cross is a huge symbol of who we are as Christians.  Though the cross may not be directly visible, it's presence and effects are still strong.
