2010 Keynote Topics

The CYM speakers will explore the following topics as dimensions of this year’s theme (titles subject to revision):

  1. *The Promise of My Father (Lk. 24:49)

  2. *God’s Call for Us (shared session with Vision conference)

  3. *Call to Discipleship (shared session with Vision conference)

Certificate Offered

Notre Dame Vision CYM will offer a certificate of completion to all participants. The certificate is accompanied by a document detailing the content of the Notre Dame Vision CYM experience. This can be applied to diocesan and high school requirements for continuing education and ongoing formation.

 

Anyone who works with youth will benefit greatly from Notre Dame Vision CYM. This week is about the spiritual formation and enrichment of the youth minister. We all minister out of our own call so if we do not attend to and nurture our own spirituality how can we help others, especially youth, on their faith journey?
