Dearest Chaplains, Chaplain Assistants, Youth Leader Trainers, and Youth Leaders:

Thanks be to God for His merciful love and protection of our VEYM.

It is with great joy that I announce to you on behalf of the National Executive Committee, the VEYM’s 2022 Joshua and Youth Leader Trainers Congress to commence this summer near our nation’s capital. With the ongoing COVID pandemic, coupled with multiple stress inducing current events, it is inevitable that faith-based youth ministries have sustained significant loss of motivation and membership.

In union with the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops’ Eucharistic Revival initiative to reignite the spirit of the faithful, the VEYM’s Joshua and Youth Leader Trainers Congress aims to renew our spirit and rediscover the gift of in-person ministry, bolster our work on evangelization in the post-COVID era, and enkindle a living relationship with Jesus in the most Holy Eucharist. Through renowned keynote speakers on the Eucharist, dynamic breakout sessions on effective strategies for evangelization, discussions and dialogues on VEYM reformation and advancement, social gathering, praise and worship, music, food, and prizes, those in attendance without a doubt will be reenergized and sent forth to lead their chapter into the next chapter in our great history.
