The Basics

Who:

ND Vision CYM is for high school campus ministers, diocesan directors/coordinators of youth ministry, parish youth ministers, high school religion teachers, and all those whose ministry efforts touch the lives of teens. If you are interested in strengthening and expanding your ministry to young people; if you want to build on the ND Vision experience in your school, diocese, or parish; if you want to learn with and from a community of campus and youth ministers; if you need continuing education and ongoing formation; if you need some time for personal renewal and refreshment, then ND Vision CYM is for YOU!

What:
ND Vision CYM exists to support you and your ministry to youth. For five days, ND Vision CYM participants will explore the meaning and significance of vocation for their own lives, for young people, and for their ministry. This experience will include theological exploration and personal renewal with a community of campus and youth ministers from across the nation. Engaging and enriching keynotes, stimulating facilitated discussions, and prayer/reflection experiences will address various aspects of God’s call for each of us and the response of faith.

Where:

The University of Notre Dame provides an ideal setting for the ND Vision CYM experience. Participants will be housed in on campus and will eat in our award winning dining hall. We encourage you to take full advantage off all that this beautiful campus has to offer throughout the week, from its idyllic lakes and walking paths to its athletic facilities and restaurants. Notre Dame is located 90 miles east of Chicago, just off the 80-90 Toll Road at Exit 77. The South Bend Regional Airport services South Bend, and is also home to the South Shore Train Station and the Greyhound/United Limo bus terminals.
