OYAYA Mission
The Mission of the Office for Youth and Young Adult Ministry is to support, provide collaborative opportunities to, and  access to resources for those who minister to the young Church.  We exist to be ministers to the ministers of today’s youth and young adults:  Without our ministers, we have no ministry.
