The ministry of the Office of Catechesis for Children, Youth, and Families is to promote and guide the development of catechetical and youth ministry leadership in the Diocese of Tucson toward the goal of strengthening the faith of our young people and families in Christ. This is accomplished, in collaboration with other diocesan offices and departments, by providing training, certification programs for catechists, resources, and enrichment opportunities for parish leaders and diocesan events for youth and young adults.

The Diocese of Tucson is seeking applicants for the position of Youth, Young Adult and Family Ministry Coordinator. Click here for position description and information on how to apply.
