Prairie Star Ranch now serves as the home for the Archdiocese’s Rural Youth Ministry Outreach. This integration is designed specifically to better serve rural parishes by providing consistent support, shared resources, and expanded opportunities for their youth.

By bringing parish outreach, retreats, and camp programs together in one place, rural parishes gain easier access to high-quality formation, leadership development, and retreat experiences—without needing to build these programs on their own.

Still under the leadership of Angie Bittner, this unified approach allows the Ranch to walk more closely with parish leaders, respond to local needs, and ensure that young people in rural communities are more consistently engaged in the life of the Church.
