Anglican Diocese of Ottawa Youth Ministry
Gather, Connect, Grow
ADOy (Anglican Diocese of Ottawa Youth) is a vibrant new ministry that brings together young people across the diocese, offering a safe and creative space to grow in faith, build relationships, and explore leadership.
Rooted in the local parish ministries, ADOy connects youth, aged 12 to 17, from all regions to deepen their relationship with God and each other.
Welcome to ADOy
ADOy provides opportunities for youth to come together on a seasonal basis, with events and activities that focus on experiential learning, leadership development, and having fun!
Parish clergy play an essential role in fostering these connections, drawing youth into meaningful and trusting relationships within our church community.
ADOy+
We’ve also launched ADOy+, a space for young adults aged 18, 19 and in their 20s to connect, gather, and self-organize, ensuring the journey of faith continues beyond adolescence.
