THE SOURCE FOR CATHOLIC YOUTH MINISTRY

The Catholic Youth Foundation

The Catholic Youth Foundation was founded in 1998 by two youth ministers, Tom Fertal and Art Bamert. They were looking to put together a place on the web that would provide helpful links and resources for free. Since then, many changes have come about in Catholic Youth Ministry. Many more resources and organizations are working hard to make effective youth ministry a reality in many more parishes and schools around the country.

The Catholic Youth Foundation has changed and grown as well. Our basic commitment and mission are the same, but we are striving to help bring even more quality Catholic resource to those who minister to youth and to the teens themselves.

The Catholic Youth Foundation now includes "Fan the Fire Ministries". The Fan the Fire Rallies are a one day Eucharistic centered youth event. We have sponsored a Fan the Fire Rally in three cities to date
