What Is the Matthew 25 Project?
Last year, the Diocesan Youth Office received a $500,000, five-year grant from the Notre Dame McGrath Institute. The Matthew 25 Project is a dynamic ministry rooted in Matthew 25:35–40, calling young people to recognize Christ in the vulnerable and to serve those in need.
Through hands-on service, prayer, and reflection, this initiative provides transformative experiences that foster spiritual growth, social responsibility, and a lifelong commitment to serving others. By helping youth encounter Christ in the marginalized, interns play a vital role in forming compassionate leaders for the Church and the world.
What Is CLI?
The Diocesan High School Christian Leadership Institute (CLI) has been forming young disciples for over 28 years. Its mission is to help high school students encounter Christ and begin a lifelong journey of discipleship.
CLI includes daily prayer, Mass, adoration, and scripture study, as well as small-group experiences, large-group presentations, sports competitions, and opportunities for students to plan and lead their own youth nights.
