Hi parents!
On May 6, 2021 the previous Archdiocese of Ottawa and Diocese of Alexandria-Cornwall amalgamated into the Archdiocese of Ottawa-Cornwall. This has allowed us to combine resources and strengths from our two youth offices to build youth ministry across our diocese.
Several parishes in the diocese have continued to run youth ministry online during the pandemic, providing opportunities for your child to grow in relationship with their peers and with God. If you have any questions about these local initiatives, as well as any other ways your child can get connected to their faith, please reach out to any of the staff listed on the left side of this page.
In the Archdiocese of Ottawa-Cornwall, our top priority is keeping youth safe, so please read the guidelines that we have in place to create a safe environment for your child. You will also find some resources to help you navigate some of the things your child may be experiencing at this time.
Thanks for visiting our new website!
God bless,
Diocesan Youth Office -
