What is United Catholic Youth Ministries?
United Catholic Youth Ministries (UCYM) is a collaborative ministry for youth, young adults, and families. Our purpose is to embed ourselves in the mission of the organizations we serve and partner with to empower young people to take responsibility for their faith and leadership of their faith communities.
UCYM was established in 2016 and first commissioned to serve in the Evanston and Skokie region of the Archdiocese of Chicago until 2023 when UCYM moved to North Lawndale and began its partnership with Blessed Sacrament Catholic Youth Center.
