Forming leaders to form youth.

Help our young women discover a growing relationship with Our Lady.

Training is required for all mentors and moderators wanting to work with the girls. A separate leader’s guide is given to the adult leaders at training. We offer many different training dates for the Mary, the First Disciple Program all through out the year.

1. Contact the OYM to schedule a training: 314-792-7613

2. Please complete the "Declaration of Intent" and "Pledge of Support" in the appendix of your Mary, the First Disciple project book. Once you are finished with the program, you must attend the diocesan Day or Evening of Discipleship and then submit your "Application Form--The Marian Medal" in the very back of the project book before you are allowed to purchase the award. Except for special circumstances, all Mary, the First Disciple awards are presented at the annual rel Sunday service on the first Sunday in March.
