WHO WE SERVE
Youth
The Diocesan Youth Council (DYC) seeks to provide opportunities for young people to participate in the renewal of the life, mission, and work of the Diocese of Buffalo through gatherings with the Diocesan Bishop and appropriate adult lay leaders. There will be two groups established within the Council: students in grades 6-8 and students in grades 9-12. Annoucement Flyer.
