Demonstrate your Competence!

National certification provides a professional credential that is portable to other dioceses around the country.
The NFCYM along with its partner organizations (FDLC, NALM, NPM,and NCCL) manages and grants certification for the ministers and ministry roles in their field, reviewing candidates’ qualifications for certification in that field.
NFCYM oversees the certification of Lay Ecclesial Ministers serving as:
