about
part camp. part conference. part retreat.
It is a gathering of Catholic youth ministers (paid, unpaid, core team, volunteer, priest…everybody) for a weekend filled with discussion, prayer, challenges, fun, and food.
Because it doesn’t exist in the Catholic world right now. We want to offer something that is accessible and affordable for ALL our youth ministry leaders to gather and be fed. It is often difficult to find time to gather those responsible for youth ministry throughout our Archdiocese and this is that time.
A community of support, prayer, and conversations with leaders in Youth Ministry, both local and national.

Meg Hunter-Kilmer is a missionary and storyteller who travels the world telling people about the fierce and tender love of God. She is the author of four books about Scripture and the Saints and currently works as a campus minister at the University of Notre Dame. When she’s not obsessively googling obscure Saints, trying to convince people to read Scripture, or driving appalling distances while listening to audiobooks on double speed, she loves watching the Olympics and spending time with her nieces, nephews, and godchildren.

About TENx10
A diverse collaboration that calls on the entire Christian community to join arms and help faith matter to 10 million young people in the next ten years—in the spirit of John 10:10. TENx10 is motivated by the alarming news that more than 1 Million young people in America are drifting from their faith each year. But we’re at a tipping point. We’re calling the Church at large to set aside our differences to bridge the gap. We don’t have all the answers, but we know it’s time to start the conversation. Let’s fight for the faith of the next generation, together!
