Continuing the Journey Conference

The OMY invites you once again to join us and fellow Ministers of our Archdiocese to Continuing the Journey (CTJ). A national conference experience in our backyard!

CTJ is open to those who minister, work, volunteer, and most importantly walk with young people on their faith journey – Parish and Campus Ministers, Ministry Core Teams, Clergy, Religious, C/DRE’s, Catechists, Scout Leaders, Coaches, and more.

Described as a place where you are “appreciated as a youth minister,” “hospitable,” a place to find “lots of good ideas,” and more. Listen to our ministers and peek into the experience of CTJ.
