Director's Days

Sisters and Brothers in Christ,

We look forward to welcoming all Diocesan/Eparchial directors of youth ministry offices from across the country! Our Annual "CCYMN Director's Days" gathering will take place in Winnipeg, MB, immediately following the CCYMN National Youth Ministry Conference. Please consider joining your peers from across Canada for a brief AGM, time to retreat and pray together, and time to come together as a national "think-tank" to address some of the issues and challenges we all share. It is our prayer that all areas of Canada might join us at the table.

New Diocesan Director's Orientation

The New Diocesan Director's Orientation (NDDO) is to help support new directors in their role as diocesan/eparchial leaders. The workshop will cover items such as:
  • Role definition
  • Expectations
