New Diocesan Directors Institute Resources
The McGrath Institute for Church Life partners with Catholic dioceses, parishes, and schools to address pastoral challenges with theological depth and rigor. In gratitude to you, our partners throughout the country, we have assembled the following resources especially for those involved in the New Diocesan Directors Institute for Youth Ministers. Information about our programs can be found below the resources.
