The Youth Ministry Advisory Board gathers some of the best youth ministers in the Diocese of Paterson. They meet several times per year to discuss diocesan strategy for encouraging and equiping parishes to have vibrant youth ministries. While there are currently nine Youth Ministers on the board, the goal is to have a youth minister represent each of the twelve deaneries in the diocese.
