Inspired by the invitation of our Church this year towards “renewed servant-
leadership for the new evangelization” to the clergy, consecrated persons and laity—all
of us members of Christ’s body—the NCYM2018 aims to gather youth ministers in:
1. Deepening their rootedness in Christ,
learning from His example as a true Servant-Leader;
2. Renewing their vocation
as modern-day ministers to the young;
3. Acquire skills that will help them
become more effective in ministering to the youth; and
4. Strengthen communion and collaboration
among youth ministers.
Taking place before the 15th Ordinary General Assembly of the Synod of Bishops on
“Youth, Faith and Vocational Discernment” in October, the NCYM2018 endeavors to
form and develop a new breed of youth ministers who are deeply committed to Christ as
servant-leaders accompanying the young towards discovering and embracing their
vocation. Thus, this event shall prepare activities that will provide joyful and fruitful
learning for the participants, equip them with inputs on salient issues about youth and
youth ministry, as well as skills that will prepare them in fulfilling their youth ministry
roles and in the transition of leadership in their respective settings.
INVITED
This year’s NCYM will also welcome two (2) youth leaders from all eighty six (86)
parishes of the host-diocese.
The ECY Bishops look forward not only to the presence of these youth ministers, but
also to the opportunity of meeting them personally and seeing the community of youth
ministers from all over the Church in the Philippines gathered and enriched by the
NCYM experience.
