We Celebrate Women!

United Catholic Youth Ministries celebrates Women's History Month by, first, acknowledging the role of women in the world and the Church. If not for women, there would be no human life. Women have encountered a lot of discrimination in history and much of that still needs addressing today. It is important for us to uphold the human dignity of women. 

We want to take this opportunity to acknowledge the many amazing leaders on our staff!
