1 ice of Youth & Young Adult Ministry Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ, We are excited to tell you more about what it may look like if you apply and are hired to be a part of the Program Staff for the ice of Youth & Young Adult Ministry in the Diocese of Wheeling-Charleston! This position will give you a multitude of opportunities to give real-life experience in all aspects of Youth Ministry: Diocesan, Parish, Retreat, and more, but has one goal, to bring the message of the Gospel to Youth People throughout West Virginia and beyond! If you haven t done so, be sure to look at the office Job Description on the website. You ll notice a couple of things that you have questions about: What does it mean to live in intentional community? What does a typical day look like as Program Staff? How will we minister across an entire state? What is the Bishop Hodges Pastoral Center and where in the world is Huttonsville? This packet will try to give some brief explanation to your questions, but words on a page can only give part of the picture. If you have other questions or want to find out more, please call our office and we will do our best to provide more understanding. This position will ultimately be deeply spiritual, fun, and rewarding but will also present plenty of challenges. The realities of living and working in community can be a source of tension, but can also be a great opportunity to be driven forward in our professional, spiritual, and personal life. Flexibility and the ability to adapt to changes will be a skill that is important to being successful. Lack of personal space, long and exhausting days, and intense communal relationships can be realities. A few examples of a typical summer day and a school-year week are included for you to review. If these attributes and expectations appeal to you, please apply. We look forward to learning more about you through this process and pray that the Holy Spirit guides us in building a great team. Thank you for your interest in furthering the Kingdom in West Virginia. In Christ, Robert Perron Director of the ice of Youth & Young Adult Ministry Shawn Madden Director of the BHPC Associate Director of ice of Youth & Young Adult Ministry Joe Peterson Program Coordinator ice of Youth & Young Adult Ministry

3 ice of Youth & Young Adult Ministry Seasons, Events, & Basic Duties What does it look like to work as a Youth Ministry Program Staff? It depends on the season really. There are, of course, some things that continue on regardless of the time of year, but others that will be a part of very specific times. Lets lay out some of the Basic Duties that will always need to be taken care of: Websites, Social Media, Other Communication: Program Staff will have assignments to help run our various Websites & Social Media Platforms and create other communicable ways to reach around the Diocese (Posters, Flyers, s, and such) as a way to continually evangelize, catechize, & be in communicate. Planning & Preparing for Various Groups, Retreats, Events, Rallies, etc.: At any given time, it will be important to take a look ahead to be prepared for the next group or event on the calendar. Vicariate Youth ice Liaison: Each Program Staff Member will be in communication with the parishes of an assigned Vicariate. They will regularly check-in with the parish leaders in order to communicate things to or from the Youth ice, as well as to be in prayer with the ministry leaders. They will also attend the Vicariate Meetings. Youth Ministry at St. Brendan: Maintaining and expanding upon the relational ministry for middle school and high school students at our local parish, St. Brendan. Hospitality: Hospitality is one of our paramount charisms. Our goal is to provide them with an experience of biblical hospitality as a representation of God s extravagant love. These groups vary in size, make-up, and in what type of retreat they are looking for. Summer Programming: Throughout the summer, Bishop Hodges PC provides high-energy programming opportunities for young people to encounter Christ. The two keystone programs are Manus Christi and Camp Bosco. Manus Christi is a service and mission program for high school students that runs in six-day sessions. Camp Bosco is a Catholic adventure camp for youth ages 7-17 that also runs in seven-day sessions. Vigorous outdoor activities such as rock climbing, zip-lining, swimming, camping/backpacking, physical labor, and home repair blend with prayer, scripture/catechism study, and community-building to create these encounters. Early Fall & The Summit: As the school year starts, we host Camp Magis. This experience for 7th graders in partnership with the Catholic schools of the diocese is meant to evangelize the campers and move their hearts to service. This program goes from midaugust through early October. While not the only event happening at that time, it will take the bulk of the missionaries energy. We also partner with the Catholic Schools ice in hosting The Summit on Catholic Leadership in which Sophomores from the Catholic Schools come during a week to learn from national speakers, diocesan staff and the missionary team ways to grow into leaders in their communities & churches.

4 ice of Youth & Young Adult Ministry Travel Season : Throughout January and February of the year here, missionaries will plan and carry out the Camp Bosco Roadshow tour. The missionaries, along with Bob Perron, Shawn and Joe will plan a route, dates, and a theme for the tour. The team will travel around the state to visit all the catholic schools in the diocese and give presentations to promote Camp Bosco. During the evenings of the roadshow the team will schedule and host youth nights at parishes in the areas where they are travelling. As a staff member, it is essential to have a relationship with Jesus Christ and to have a strong Catholic faith foundation. In addition to the individual spiritualties of all participants and staff, the Youth ice & BHPC are characterized by a vibrant spirituality that flows from the heart and traditions of the Church. This spirituality is lived out in the sacraments, adoration, praise & worship, liturgy of the hours, and other communal prayer experiences. Equally important to embracing this communal spirituality is respecting differences in others spiritualties. Community Life YM Program Staff will live as intentional community with group prayer, work, meals, and free time in close conditions. Life in such community especially one in a rural setting can be an immense blessing and an intense struggle. To help guide this, the team will live a communal rule of life to structure their days and create an environment for prayer, formation, and healthy community. If you have any questions about your willingness to put your personal freedoms on hold for the needs of the young people and those we serve, please do not apply. I am third is something that we live (Jesus first, others second, I am third). Community life at the BHPC is hard work. We are always on call and we work long days. We focus on spiritual, physical and emotional development of young people and retreatants. Any addictions can be problematic when living in community. The facility is tobacco free and during summer programming has limited access to caffeine. Summer specific expectations Summer is a particularly strenuous season and therefore has some additional expectations. Staff members have strict duties and strict bed times, generally 11:00 p.m. The safety of young people is at stake. During the summer, cell phones and computers can be used only during your off times and you may not carry them while on duty. Staff generally has two hours off daily in the late afternoon to conduct personal business. All medication, prescription and nonprescription, will be collected and dispensed by the assigned team member during the summer. Your medication(s) are your private information, but staff may not keep ANY medication outside of the first aid area without authorization and documentation for safety reasons.

5 ice of Youth & Young Adult Ministry Other Details The Professional Code of Ethics for Diocesan Youth Ministry is enclosed for you to review and sign as part of the application. All hired team will additionally be mailed the Diocese s policy and procedures concerning sexual misconduct and ethics to sign before employment can begin. Our appearance is important. Many activities do not allow piercings to be worn for safety reasons. During the summer months there are dedicated staff to run on-site activities such as the pool and challenge course elements. During the school year, program staff will be expected to understand and facilitate these activities for user groups on property. In order to make this possible, all program staff will be receiving lifeguard training as well as ropes training to run challenge course elements, both from the ground and in the air. Fear of heights or inability to swim are not impediments to employment, but please discuss any such issues with the director during the application process. Sample potential schedule August through May Weeks will all look different. Ideally, many weeks would also have at least one additional event during the week or weekend. This is a sample for reference only.
