Full Job Description

Note: This position is full time (40 hours per week). Deadline for applications is July 8, 2026

St. Denis Church is seeking a dedicated and visionary leader to serve as the Director of Teen Confirmation and Youth Ministry (TC&YM). In addition to preparing our teens to receive the Sacrament of Confirmation, this leader will guide our teens (and their parents) to: (1) develop a close, personal relationship and friendship with Jesus; (2) dedicate their life to him; and (3) become a missionary disciple of Jesus Christ. Typically, St. Denis has about 50-60 teens enrolled in Confirmation Year 1 and 50-60 teens enrolled in Confirmation Year 2.

Program Leadership: Working with St. Denis’s Anointed for Mission (AFM) Leadership Team and the AFM Leadership Team of the Archdiocese of Los Angeles, the Director will develop and oversee a comprehensive TC&YM Program that leads teens (and their parents) through the thresholds of conversion from initial trust to spiritual curiosity, spiritual openness, spiritual seeking, and intentional discipleship. This will include spiritual formation, catechesis, retreat experiences, and service opportunities. Responsibility for faith formation for the parents will be shared with St. Denis’s Director of Adult Faith Formation.
Pastoral Care: Provide spiritual guidance and support to teens and their families throughout the formation process.
Recruiting: Recruit parish volunteers to serve as catechists, accompaniers for teens and their parents, hospitality ministers, prayer warriors, and workers for TC&YM.
Collaboration: Work closely with the pastor, other clergy, parish staff, volunteers, parish ministry leaders, and parish ministries to coordinate TC&YM logistics, liturgies, and related parish activities.
Communication: Maintain clear and consistent communication with parents, guardians, Confirmation sponsors, and the entire parish regarding TC&YM Program details, expectations, and updates.
Community Building & Engagement: Create an inclusive and welcoming environment where youth will feel connected to their faith and the parish community. Foster a sense of community among teens through regular meetings, social events, service opportunities, and outreach.
Event Planning: Organize and oversee youth events, retreats, service projects, and special activities throughout the year.
Pastoral Support for Teens who have been Confirmed: Provide mentorship, guidance, and pastoral care to lead them to become missionary disciples of Jesus Christ and to assist with the TC&YM Program and other parish ministries.
Administration: Manage the TC&YM budget, maintain records, and ensure compliance with parish policies and procedures.

Requirements

Practicing Roman Catholic, who is in good standing with and has a deep commitment to the teachings and values of Jesus Christ and the Catholic Church, and who has a love for teens and their families.
Bachelor’s degree (preferably in Theology, Religious Studies, Education, Counseling, or a related field). Master’s degree or other advanced training/formation preferred.
Experience in youth ministry and/or Teen Confirmation preparation, with a focus on adolescent formation, catechesis, and pastoral care.
Strong leadership and organizational skills, with the ability to recruit, train, motivate, and retain volunteers.
Excellent interpersonal and communication skills, both verbal and written.
Ability to work collaboratively in a team environment and to adapt to the diverse needs of teenagers, families, and parishioners.
Proficiency in Microsoft Office Suite and familiarity with relevant technology and social- media platforms.

Benefits:

Competitive salary commensurate with experience.
Comprehensive health and retirement benefits package.
Opportunities for professional development and continuing education in youth ministry and pastoral care.
Supportive work environment within a vibrant and inclusive parish community.

Application Process: Interested candidates should submit a resume, cover letter, and three professional references to Amy Siacunco @ [email protected] by Wednesday, July 8, 2026. Please include “Director of Teen Confirmation and Youth Ministry” in the subject line of your email.

Wage Range
The rate of pay offered to the selected candidate is based on internal pay policy and budget. New hires are commonly paid at the minimum of the wage range or within the lower part of the range. We consider a number of factors when making compensation decisions including, but not limited to, skill sets, experience, training and other department needs.
