Office of Youth Ministry - Diocese of Biloxi

Who We Are

The Office of Youth and Young Adult Ministry exists to form disciples and raise up leaders in our Church. Our mission is to equip, catechize, and walk alongside youth ministers, young leaders, and the youth they serve so that all may be drawn more fully into the life and mission of Jesus Christ.

We serve as the hub for youth and young adult ministry across our diocese; supporting parishes and youth ministers, hosting retreats and conferences, guiding youth leadership teams, fostering our Frassati Fellowship for young adults, and coordinating CYO sports. Through events like the Diocesan Youth Conference, local retreats, middle school events, national conferences and retreats, we strive to create and find spaces where young people can encounter Christ, grow in fellowship, and live out intentional discipleship.

Why Give

We believe cost should never be the reason a young person misses the opportunity to encounter Christ. Your gift makes it possible for all youth and young adults, regardless of financial situation, to participate fully in our retreats, pilgrimages, and leadership programs.

Donations from #iGiveCatholic go directly toward:

• Scholarships so teens and young adults can attend local and national encounter events

• Hospitality and resources that make gatherings welcoming and memorable (like meals, coffee, photo booths, and giveaways)

• Event equipment, venues, and materials (microphones, speakers, projectors, lighting, and more) to help create meaningful experiences

• Support for youth ministers through training and formation; as well as, access to updated resources

Your generosity helps form disciples, strengthen faith communities, and build the future of our Church.
