Course programme

Pope Benedict XVI in his introduction to the Youth Catechism (YouCat) said to young people: “You need to know what you believe. You need to know your faith with that same precision with which an IT specialist knows the inner workings of a computer.” Experiential and anecdotal evidence would suggest that young people don’t know their faith in this way and some disagree with Church teaching. Youth ministry is supposed to play a key role in evangelisation and catechesis but many young people involved are still indifferent to their faith, in belief and practice. This leads us to consider: is youth ministry working? There is a need to respond to the challenges of our time and to genuinely listen to young people who are a source of hope in the Church. What are their concerns and challenges of the faith for in an increasingly secular post-modern world? And ultimately, are youth ministers ready and equipped to engage in apologetics and givea reason for their hope and faith when young people call upon them?
