Office of Youth Evangelisation
The Office for Youth Evangelisation is the agency for youth and young adults within the Archdiocese of Hobart. Our aim is to invite and involve youth and young adults into a personal relationship with God, to encourage them to live out their baptismal call and participate in the life and mission of their Church Community.
The Office for Youth Evangelisation encourages youth and young adults to be involved in various projects and events where they can build relationships with each other and God; their spiritual life can be fed and nourished; and their journey of growing up Catholic can be supported and encouraged.
The ultimate goal of the Office of Youth Evangelisation is to help create intentional disciples of Christ.
Connect with us to be updated on opportunities to engage with other young Catholics and learn about, or go deeper into, the Catholic faith.
