The
University of Notre Dame’s Institute for Church Life (ICL)
has been elected to “collaborating membership” in
the National Federation for Catholic Youth Ministry (NFCYM).
Established
in 1982, the NFCYM advocates for and supports Catholic youth ministry
on the national, diocesan and local levels. Its affiliated members
include most of the Catholic dioceses in the nation, and its collaborating
members are organizations that share in its mission, activities
and interests.
“We’re
delighted with this new development,” said Leonard J. DeLorenzo,
director of ICL’s Notre Dame Vision, a service organization
for Catholic youth ministers. “This new partnership with
NFCYM will enable the ICL and its constituents to work even more
closely with dioceses across the United States, as well as with
other national organizations, in supporting excellence in the
faith formation of young people.”
The ICL is
the principal means by which Notre Dame’s teaching, research
and resources serve the Catholic Church. Its constituents include
the Center for Catechetical Initiatives, the Notre Dame Center
for Liturgy, Notre Dame Vision, Satellite Theological Education
Program (STEP) and the Center for Social Concerns.
