Inspired by the need for a New Evangelization, our mission is to form disciples of Jesus Christ and His Church, through a unified vision for ministry to young people, from early adolescence through young adulthood.
Cardinal Seán O’Malley commissioned this Office for the New Evangelization of Youth and Young Adults (ONE) as a new and exciting way for the Church to journey comprehensively with our young people (before, during, and after Confirmation, through high school, into college, and through the discernment of their vocation).
This office supports those who work with our young people by
- Drawing upon the collective wisdom of the Pastors and the different people and ministries with over-lapping responsibilities for serving the young,
- Providing high quality training, retreats, and ongoing-formation,
- Executing powerful Archdiocesan events and exciting opportunities for adults to utilize in their outreach to young people,
- Creating affordable and effective resources for adults.
ONE “comprises of the following:”
- CYO Athletic Ministry

ONE actively and intentionally plans, collaborates, and coordinates with the following offices/ministries:
