Totally Catholic Youth Ministers Lounge

Are you in youth ministry and you've had it with crazed parents? Rollin' your eyes at the pastoral council? Tired of administration work? Love youth? Love the Church? Appalled at parish politics? Looking for some good games? For a creative ways to teach a lesson for Religious Ed? Just need a place to veg out and say "phew! Someone outside of the parish to talk to!"? Grab y'r Starbucks, turn the computer away from the staff's eyes, grab a seat on a donated dusty couch and let it all go.

Just A Word

About Youth Specialties.

I really like their Youth Ministry journal and now their on line resources. While we as Catholics are catching up and formulating our own youth ministry vision and resources, the Protestants are still way ahead of us on so many things.

Having said that, I am also aware that some of their stuff is not necessarily going to meet the needs of Catholic youth ministry. They are going to take a much different view on forming ones' theology and how and what kind of message to bring to the youth. Whatever I post here will be good sensible wisdom for anyone in youth ministry no matter where you are at in the Church.
