Why work in the Arlington Diocese?
The Arlington Diocese is a great place to live and be a part
of the Church! We are a rapidly growing diocese with a large
number of vocations to the religious life each year. We have
parishes in both rural and urban areas to give you an opportunity
to do ministry in a variety of settings. Just across the Potomac
from Washington D.C., we are close to everything! There are
many Universities for continuing education, an endless supply
of places to do ministry with youth, and an active social
scene!
We recognize that youth ministers require formal training,
but also need to feel a part of a community that spends time
together in prayer, worship, and socializing. We provide activities
to meet each of these needs, as well as help to educate the
parishes and pastors about the need for youth ministry, and
the need for an allocation of resources for the youth. In
addition we provide the large diocesan-wide activities for
youth that are too difficult or time consuming to be done
by parish youth ministers.
We provide all of this while remaining 100% in line with
the teachings of the Catholic Church, and following the framework
for Catholic Youth Ministry as set forth by the NCCB in their
1997 document, Renewing the Vision.
Volunteer Opportunities
The Office of Youth Ministry for the Arlington Diocese is
actively seeking men and women who feel called to lead youth
to Christ through their own example. We are always in great
need of volunteers to help lead our programs. The pay is not
great, but the retirement benefits are out of this world!
Please contact us if you have
any gifts that you are willing to share!
Help with your current “job”
If you already are a youth minister in the Arlington Diocese,
but need help or support with your current job, then please
contact us! We are here to help
set you up for success in your current job if that is where
God is calling you to be.

in becoming a full-time paid youth minister at one of the
