Our Youth Council is planning to have a "lock-in" at the parish.
Anyone have a sheet of groundrules for those attending the event? Also any nitty-gritty or essential ideas for a successful lock-in would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Bob Meaney

Hi all, this is Phil letting y'all know that there's a trivia night fundraiser going on at St. T's on Saturday, May 31. It is open to ANYONE from the diocese and tables seat 10. Cost is $10/person, or $5 for students. All proceeds go to help defray costs for the upcoming teen service trip to Buffalo, NY happening this August.
There will also be other contests throughout the evening which can be both fun and lucrative. Food is BYO. Check in begins at 6:30 and trivia begins at 7:00-7:15 p.m. in the Community Room in the back of the church. Let me know if you'd like to sign up a table! My number at the office is 219-464-4042 and my cell # is 219-840-DRUM (3786). Yes, it's very cheezy I know. Peace, Phil

Recently a Sophomore (see Kevin for pronunciation) at Highland High School passed away unexpectedly. Many of my youth are dealing with grief, disbelief and sorrow. I see this as an opportunity for all of us to share how we would support the members of our ministry in a time like this. Please feel free to share any ideas/suggestions.

OK, time for some DISCUSSION! I don;t know when I'm gonna get to the Notes this week, but when I do I'll be distributing a link to an article given to me a few weeks ago by Bishop Melczek, "Liturgy as Lens for Postmodern Youth Ministry." Here is the link: www.dcgary.org/youth/ym/articles/liturgyym.htm You can link to it directly from the Youth Ministry page of the website as well.
Since it came from our Shepherd, and since it pertains to YM, I'd like to hear your thoughts! I think the author makes some good points not only regarding youth and liturgy, but on youth culture as well. Long article, but worth it. Reply with your thoughts!

We've talked about going to a Rail Cats game, either as a youth or whole parish activity. Group prices are reasonable but "picnic" deal seems pretty pricey. Anybody done this (or something similar)? How'd you handle transportation and food?

Hey, can anyone recommend a good survey/resource tool for gathering feedback from teens regarding their interests and needs in a program? I could create my own, but wonder if wonderful resources have already been created by other pros in the field...Thanks y'all!

Greetings all! Congrats to the even dozen graduates of the most recent Youth Ministry University, which wrapped up Apr. 7 @ St. Joseph (Dyer). At the end, many participants expressed a desire to continue to connect with other youth leaders from across the diocese to share IDEAS!
That's why Joe created this Wiki! However, after 10+ years in ministry I have a general feel for the personality types of youth leaders: you are, for the most part, very humble! While humility is a noble virtue, it has a NEGATIVE effect on a site like this is! You all have great ideas, examples of ministry stuff that WORKS, but might be reluctant to share those ideas and opinions. I've noticed lots of new members have come on board, and that is great! But we're all disappointed when we check in and there's nothing new posted. The content is user-generated, so, users, please generate lots of content! Had a good discussion night? Post it! What was it about? Why do you think it worked? Frustrated with today's teens? Why? Post your feelings! Looking for a retreat day or a youth night focusing on (insert theme here)? Request it and someone is sure to reply. Let's see if we can reduce the size of the pix of Joe and me to the left. No one wants to look at our ugly mugs anyway. :-)

Ok, we spend HOW much time uniting? But, in this wiki or thread, or whatever it's called, (help, Joe?), I wanna talk about something that, dare I say, might divide us ever so slightly...Chicago Baseball!!!!
So, riddle me this: 1) Which Chicago baseball team gets your loyalty, and 2) list your biggest concern and the biggest lock for this upcoming season!* *These can range from players, to broadcast, to postseason predictions, to the wide range of bad voices they'll have singing the 7th inning stretch at Wrigley, etc...

Once again, it was an incredible experience for myself, but more importantly, my youth. Everyone I talked to is so on fire! I think it is very important to continue to fan the fire of the kids. Get them to spread the word about their experiences as well as their ministry. This is how we can grow Christ filled youth. Let's add some fuel to the fire and what God continue to ignite!!

I have recently come to the realization that to have a successful Youth Ministry, I need to do a better job of getting parents involved. Does anyone have any resources/ideas/suggestions for getting parents a little more involved in YM and the lives of the children?
