"The most effective catechetical program for adolescents are integrated into a comprehensive program of pastoral ministry for youth that includes catechesis, community life, evangelization, justice and service, leadership development, pastoral care, and prayer and worship. Such programs aim to empower young people to live as disciples of Jesus Christ in our world today; to draw young people to responsible participation in the life, mission, and work of the Catholic faith community; and to foster the total personal and spiritual growth of each young person."

I wish this type of learning came along sooner in my life. At the begining of the year, I wasnt sure if God was real...Now I realize that I didn't understand enough about God and the church to truly believe. this year of faith formation I learned more than the rest of my life combined, the faith was laid out in a way I could understand everything. and it made sense like it never did before
