Your Impact - Keeping Faith Formation Accessible to All Youth

Your generous gift on Giving Tuesday to the Office of Youth Ministry will have a direct and lasting impact on the spiritual lives of young people across the diocese. With a goal of raising $25,000, your support is crucial in offsetting rising costs to ensure that transformative events like the RISE and Come Encounter Christ evenings remain affordable and accessible for all. Your contribution removes financial barriers so that teens from every corner of the diocese have the opportunity to experience dynamic speakers, powerful worship, and a personal encounter with Jesus Christ through the Sacraments.

Your gift will:

• Enable teens to come together in Eucharistic adoration Come Encounter Christ
• Create lasting moments of faith formation for students attending RISE
• Empowering youth to grow in their faith and encounter Jesus Christ through the Sacraments.

Every donation—large or small—ensures faith formation remains accessible to our youth!

"RISE was a wonderful experience for me. It helped me connect with many other people who are also interested in connecting more with their faith, and it was a chance for us to learn a lot more... I would definitely love to do RISE again in the future." - Angela V., 11th Grader

The Archdiocese of Detroit Office of Youth Ministry, guided by Unleash the Gospel, supports and strengthens those who accompany and engage adolescents as they encounter Jesus Christ, grow closer to Him, and share their witness through word and action.
