Mission statement: We are here to support the congregations of our Diocese as we all invite youth into an ever-deepening, personal relationship with God through Christ, to learn and live the Scriptures, and to carry God's light & love into the world. Our goal is to help train, equip, empower and renew youth and their adult mentors for Christ-centered, transforming ministries throughout the Diocese of Massachusetts and beyond.

The Diocesan Youth Council (DYC) is a group of young people who represent the youth of the Diocese at Diocesan Convention. They plan and run Diocesan youth events and work ultimately to make the church a nurturing environment for the spiritual growth of young people in the Christian community. They seek to accomplish this through extending fellowship and hospitality with their fellow youth.
Applications can be found here, and are due into Kit Lonergan by September 4, 2009!
