Office of Religious Education and Catechesis

The Office of Religious Education and Catechesis of the Diocese of Columbus, under the leadership of the Bishop, is called to the ministry of the Word.  By providing lifelong catechesis, the office is committed to echoing the Gospel message to all, in order to nourish in them a faith that is living, conscious and active.  With a special focus on the support of those in positions of catechetical leadership, the office is dedicated to assisting them in providing quality catechesis.  

Catechesis is a priority of evangelization.  It is rooted in Scripture, Liturgy and Tradition.  Catechesis is a response of the Church to the missionary mandate of Jesus to spread the Good News.  

To that end, as an office we endeavor through proclamation, catechesis, witness and love of neighbor to contribute to the formation of disciples for building up the Kingdom of God. 

 
Office of Youth and Young Adult Ministry
 
The mission of the Office of Youth and Young Adult Ministry is to serve those who serve the young Catholic Church.  The office serves parish and school leaders by providing support and direction for a variety of ministries:  parish youth ministry, high school campus ministry, Catholic Scouting (BSA and GSUSA), Recreation, Safe Environment Program, parish young adult ministry, and college/university campus ministry.  The OY&YAM also coordinates diocesan direct-programs for young people such as the High School Youth Rally, Walking Stations of the Cross, Gospel Road, and the Diocesan Youth Council.
