This document summarizes a webinar on the National Dialogue for Catholic Pastoral Ministry to Youth and Young Adults. The webinar featured representatives from the USCCB, a diocese, NFCYM, and LaRED discussing the National Dialogue project and Phase 2 conversations. The National Dialogue is a multi-year effort to unite youth ministry, engage young people in dialogue, and mobilize the Church based on what is learned. Phase 2 involves facilitating conversations using provided questions to understand young people's experiences and help the Church better accompany them. Facilitator training and resources will be provided to host conversations and report findings to inform the Church's ministry.
