        History

        Requested by the Synod, a Youth Ministry function had in fact begun on August 25, 1983.
        The first Youth Ministry Office person listed in the Alberta Catholic Directory was in the 1985 edition – Robert Cook, the coordinator. Fr. John Schuster was the liaison priest. He was in Rockyford at the time. Following the Calgary Diocesan Synod the recommendations stated that issues pertaining to youth were ranked as the third most important to the people of the Diocese. The Synod asked that an Office for Youth Ministry be established under a youth minister, using volunteers and that a Youth Coordinator be established in each Deanery. Meetings in early fall of 1994 between Sr. Maria Nakagawa, the Synod Implementation Committee and Anthony Hulse established a vision for youth ministry in the Diocese and early in 1995 Hulse was appointed chair of the Diocesan Youth Ministry Commission.
