Mission & Beliefs

Our Mission
The mission of Ablaze Ministries is to implement the US Bishops’ vision of comprehensive youth ministry, by engaging, nurturing, and empowering discipleship in young people, ministers and volunteers, as well as within families.

For the youth: Ablaze Ministries enables schools and parishes of all sizes to sustain professional, cost-effective, and enthusiastic ministry rooted in prayer, fellowship, and formation. Our ministry enables collaboration of community parishes, highlighting the true connectedness of the universal Church.

For the ministers: Ablaze Ministries provides youth ministers with spiritual formation, professional training, and theological teaching. Our team of missionary ministers work together in community, sharing each other’s gifts and holding each other accountable to meet the needs and the call of the Catholic Church.
