We are in the process of forming a new Youth Council based on our developing needs, programs and events. Below is a discription of our previous councils but do not anticipate this years council looking the same. As we continue to open and plan events for the 2021-2022 year we look forward to expanding the Youth Council to our previous size and functions.
The Pallottine Teenage Federation Youth Council meets 4 times a year to plan events and program activities. These meetings are held at the Pallotti Ministry Center. They are run by the Youth leaders under the guidance of the adult advisory board. There are 4 youth leadership positions: President, Vice President, Secretary & Program Chairperson. In addition there are 12 appointments 6 chairpersons & 6 co-chairpersons) for the following committees: (
PTAF Conference, PTAF Day, Respect Life, Pallotti Center, Music Ministry & Vocations). The youth council also includes representatives, youth and adults, and any collaborating groups.
All of the youth leaders and the appointments participate in a discernment process to determine the position they will hold for the following year. In October of each year the youth meet, guided by the Holy Spirit, and aided by the PTAF adult board and spiritual advisors. After prayer and discussion, they are placed in the various roles. At the Annual Conference in December, they are installed in their positions and retain them for one year.
