The Young Disciples of Mary (YDM) is a youth and young adult movement affiliated with Alagad ni Maria (Disciples of Mary) in the Diocese of Orange, California. The YDM consists of high school, college-age young people and young adults who are committed to fellowship, leadership development and become active witnesses of their Christian faith. The YDM core values are centered in Jesus Christ and focus on the Blessed Mother Mary as a true model of faith to the youth. Finally, the group aspires to empower their fellow youth and young adults to obtain a deeper and a more profound commitment to be productive members of the Catholic Church in the Diocese of Orange and the community at large in the United States of America.
