Memorandum
DATE: July 23, 2009
TO: Priests, Pastoral Coordinators and Coordinators of Youth Ministry
FROM: Tauno Latvala, Director of Youth Ministry
SUBJECT: CMD Youth Ministry Access Subscriptions
Greetings:
We have been pleased to have been able to provide subscriptions to many parishes throughout the Archdiocese of Seattle for the Center for Ministry Development’s online resource, Youth Ministry Access (YMA), for the last 3 years.
Unfortunately, with the financial environment calling for tighter budgets, this is something we can no longer afford to do. However, we would like to do what we can to make this resource accessible for those that value it and would like to continue to utilize it in their programs.
The Center for Ministry Development (CMD) will still make the discounted price available for those that go through our office to subscribe. The prices would be: $120 for either YMA High School or YMA Middle School OR $180 for both YMA High School and Middle School. The current price without the discount would be $150 or $220 so your parish would save $30 or $40 based on what subscription you purchase.
If you are interested in purchasing a subscription through OYYAM, please send your check payable in the appropriate amount, indicate on the check to which program you are subscribing and send it to: OYYAM Attn: YMA; 710 9th Avenue; Seattle, WA 98104.
When we have received your check, we will place the order for your subscription with CMD. We recognize that parishes have different renewal dates, so we offer the following deadlines for renewal notifications and checks to our office:
August 1, 2009
September 15, 2009
November 15, 2009
We will notify CMD of the renewals we receive at that time and send payment accordingly. Please let us know if you have any questions.

RESOURCE - Comprehensive Youth Ministry Evaluation Grid
For those of us that are busy preparing for next year, a look back at last year might be a good way to start. The Center for Ministry Development has a good tool that you may be familiar with through your YouthWorks, Youth Ministry Access or Celebrate Youth resources but if you don't, they have given us permission to make that available to you on our blog. Just click on for the Youth Ministry Evaluation Tool, CMD on the Mentoring and Support resource page.
RESOURCE - Catholic Faith and Family Bible from CMD
The Catholic Faith and Family Bible from the Center for Ministry Development was created to make the Bible easier to read and understand for ordinary Catholic families, draw readers into the power of God's Word, and help Catholic families grow in faith together. Most important, Catholic families will discover God's message for their lives today!
The Catholic Faith and Family Bible is designed to be a part of daily family living. It will be found throughout the house: at the dinner table as part of family prayer, on the living room coffee table as part of family discussion, in the parents' bedroom as a source of inspiration and solace, in a teen's room as a source of learning and guidance. The one place you won't find this Bible: tucked away in a corner of a remote bookshelf.

About the Film
In a world of secrecy, corruption and injustice, a single courageous voice can tell a true story that changes everything. The emotionally charged experience of THE STONING OF SORAYA M is based on an incredible true story of a village’s persecution of an innocent woman which becomes both a daring act of witness and a compelling parable about mob rule. It is both a classic fable of good and evil and an inspiring tribute to the many fighting against injustice all around the world. Starring Academy Award® nominee Shohreh Aghdashloo (“House of Sand and Fog”) and Jim Caviezel (“The Passion Of The Christ”), it is directed by Cyrus Nowrasteh (“Path to 9/11”). In theatres now.
