For those who are involved with Catholic Youth in their community and are looking for some ideas and resources we have a few suggestions below.
We have also included some start up resources, for youth groups - links below.
NB. Please check with your Diocese and/or Parish before starting something from scratch. Most Dioceses have plans, forms and procedures of their own.

There is no one recipie to make a youth group work. Each individual and each group has different needs and a different energy. For this reason this is not a one stop shop.
However the one thing that remains the same with all youth is the importance of relationships. This needs to underpin all of your sessions. The idea is to support the development of their realtionship with God and with Church; to help them understand their relationship with themselves, with others and our world. Being a Catholic in today's world is really counter cultural, and so our youth need much support as they journey through all these challenges. |
