The purpose of the Diocesan Catholic Committee on Scouting is to provide guidance, vitality and leadership in the development of the spiritual emphasis of Boy and Girl Scouting, Camp Fire and American Heritage Girls to all Catholic Scouts and Scouters of the diocese. Members serve under the authority of the Diocese of Lansing Office of Youth Ministry. Under the guidance of the Diocesan Office of Youth Ministry, the committee endeavors to serve all Catholics involved in Scouting whether in parish units or units not chartered to Catholic organizations.

The Diocesan Commission on Catholic Social Teaching was established by Bishop Boyea to assist the bishop in his ministry to catechize all the baptized in the Diocese of Lansing on the principles of Catholic social teaching, advance the dignity of the human person, and to promote the common good of society. 

It serves as a resource to the diocesan curia and parishes, to coordinate local and diocesan-wide efforts promoting Catholic social teaching.
