The document outlines the framework for Catholic youth ministry presented in the 1997 publication "Renewing the Vision". It discusses shifts that have occurred in youth ministry approaches over time from a hierarchical model to a more collaborative one. The publication addresses three main goals of youth ministry: to empower young people to live as disciples, draw them into participation in the Catholic community, and foster their total personal and spiritual growth. It also outlines key themes and components of ministry discussed in the framework, including advocacy, catechesis, community life, and others.

God calls the Church and our parishes to grow. However, today many of our parishes lack a vision for making disciples, have few or no plans to grow, and can assume that their current members are growing and new disciples are being made, despite evidence to the contrary. In other words, our parishes can be more hopeful than honest. This workshop will address the pastoral reality and current practice of our parishes, offer a renewed vision for making disciples and evangelisation, and suggest practical actions that parishes can take to change the culture and focus of their ministries and groups. It will draw on research into best practice for Church growth both here in Australia and abroad and facilitate a conversation about the nature of parish leadership in this time of change and challenge for faith.

Homily: The Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity Sunday 2024.docxJames Knipper
Countless volumes have been written trying to explain the mystery of three persons in one true God, leaving us to resort to metaphors such as the three-leaf clover to try to comprehend the Divinity. Many of us grew up with the quintessential pyramidal Trinity structure of God at the top and Son and Spirit in opposite corners. But what if we looked at this ‘mystery’ from a different perspective? What if we shifted our language of God as a being towards the concept of God as love? What if we focused more on the relationship within the Trinity versus the persons of the Trinity? What if stopped looking at God as a noun…and instead considered God as a verb? Check it out…
The Book of Joshua is the sixth book in the Hebrew Bible and the Old Testament, and is the first book of the Deuteronomistic history, the story of Israel from the conquest of Canaan to the Babylonian exile.
In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.

Welcome to the understanding Catholic youth ministry training. This presentation highlights the shift from previous models of youth ministry known as the Catholic Youth Organization (C.Y.O.), Confraternity of Christian Doctrine (C.C.D.), and the Catholic Schools only models to a comprehensive vision of Catholic youth ministry. The renewed vision encourages a comprehensive ministry with adolescents, their parents and the entire community. This training will provide a brief historical overview of Catholic youth ministry in the United States. It will also introduce the comprehensive approach of Catholic youth ministry including its goals and components as written in the U.S. Catholics Bishops’ 1997 document Renewing the Vision: A Framework for Catholic Youth Ministry . Finally, the workshop concludes with strategies for implementing this comprehensive vision along with the invitation to brainstorm ideas in our local community.
"What is needed today is a Church which knows how to respond to the expectations of young people. Jesus wants to enter into dialogue with them and, through his body which is the Church, to propose the possibility of a choice which will require a commitment of their lives. As Jesus with the disciples of Emmaus, so the Church must become the traveling companion of young people. Pope John Paul II, World Youth Day 1995, Philippines In 1997 the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops published a new document with the input of many professionals in the field of Catholic youth ministry. Renewing the Vision built upon the 1976 Vision and was published as a document of the entire USCCB rather than from one department as in the past. The renewed vision emphasized in youth ministry focused on discipleship, included three goals and eight components.

Goal 3 Youth Ministry ... it’s about gifts and growth The third goal of youth ministry is “to foster the total personal and spiritual growth of each young person.” (RTV 15). Adolescence is an important time for mental, spiritual, social, and physical growth. Their experiences and relationships greatly influence their healthy and positive development. The Church strives to surround young people with the best possible external scaffolds—networks of caring relationships of family, school, peers, and other adults—while young people are developing their internal psychological and spiritual backbone—their values, life skills, commitments, and moral compass. The Church fulfills this third goal of youth ministry by ... Enabling young people to develop a personal relationship with Jesus. Actively supporting positive youth development and fostering healthy values and life skills. Supporting families of young people by providing resources, programs, and services. Providing opportunities to experience and express caring, service, and compassion for others
Goal 2 Youth Ministry ... it’s about connection The second goal is “to draw young people to responsible participation in the life, mission, and work of the Catholic faith community.” (RTV 11). Young people have a hunger for connection, to be in relationship, and to belong. Family, peers, school, youth serving organizations, and church are primary connections for young people. Some of the ways the church fulfills this second goal of youth ministry is by ... Being a ‘youth friendly’ community that welcomes young people, values their participation, and calls forth their gifts. Integrating young people into the liturgical, pastoral, and ministerial life of the parish community. Creating opportunities for young people to enter into healthy relationships of trust and respect with their peers and with adults. Promoting Catholic identity and religious literacy through programs of adolescent catechesis.
Goal 1 The first goal of youth ministry is “to empower young people to live as disciples of Jesus Christ in our world today.” (RTV 9). Young people are “searching for a noble adventure”, a compelling and challenging vision of life, and a cause worth their commitment. They hunger to hear the Good News that finds response in discipleship. As their companions on this spiritual journey, some of the ways the Church fulfills this first goal of youth ministry is by ... Proclaiming the Good News of Jesus through witness and word to young people. Enabling young people to live as disciples through their involvement in service, ministry, and leadership opportunities. Providing young people the faith skills for discipleship
Comprehensive Themes Effective youth ministry attends to the following themes: Developmentally Appropriate—recognizes differing needs, skills, experience, and aptitude of younger and older adolescents Family Friendly—see parents as allies in youth ministry, ministers to and incorporates parents in youth ministry Intergenerational—connects youth to the broader church community, fosters relationships between younger and those more seasoned in their faith Multicultural—recognizes, incorporates, and attends to the differing needs of youth and families from all cultures within parish, sensitizes the entire parish to the multicultural reality of the parish and greater community Community-Wide Collaboration—understands the context in which youth live—the community—seeks to partner with agencies (schools, other faith traditions, neighborhoods, police, hospitals, and youth-serving agencies, etc.) to meet commonly held goal of positive and healthy youth development Leadership—fosters (calls forth, trains, and supports) both youth and adult leadership within youth and parish ministry Flexible/Adaptable Programming—utilizes various methods, formats, activities, and schedules (days of the week, time of day, time periods, classroom model, retreats, online discussion, Internet, gathered groups, activities at the parish, activities off-site, variety of leaders, various prayer styles, music, and educational materials, etc.) to meet the needs of the youth and parents in the parish.
Components of Catholic Youth Ministry Background A Vision of Youth Ministry (1976) gave rise to 7 components for comprehensive youth ministry: basically melding and furthering the work done through CYO/CCD/Catholic School models. Renewing the Vision names 8 components for youth ministry: the component of Word (1976) is now broken into Evangelization and Catechesis as distinctive focus areas, while the remaining 6 components are expanded and deepened. The component of enablement (1976) is renamed as leadership development, creating community becomes community life, and guidance and healing (1976) is now pastoral care. Advocacy “ The ministry of advocacy engages the Church to examine its priorities and practices to determine how well young people are integrated into the life, mission, and work of the Catholic community.” (RTV, p. 27) The ministry of advocacy includes protecting the sanctity of human life, speaking with and on behalf of young people, empowering the voice of young people, and developing partnerships in building a healthy community and society.
“ The ministry of catechesis most effectively promotes the faith development of young and older adolescents when the curriculum is focused on important faith themes of the Church and on the developmental needs and life experiences of adolescents.” (RTV, p. 30) Catechesis helps young people enrich and expand their understanding of the scriptures and the sacred tradition. It provides a healthy future by encouraging youth to live faithfully in providing real life applications so that they may grow as disciples of Jesus Christ in their daily lives.
“ The ministry of community life builds an environment of love, support, appreciation for diversity, and judicious acceptance that models Catholic principles; develops meaningful relationships; and nurtures Catholic faith.” (RTV, p. 34) Community life affords the opportunity for gathering in many different forms; large groups, small groups, intergenerational groups, ongoing parish activities and celebrations to name just a few. This includes relationships between youth and caring adults, but not exclusively.
“ The ministry of evangelization shares the good news of the reign of God and invites young people to hear about the Word Made Flesh.” (RTV, p. 36) Drawing from Jesus’ example, evangelization involves the community’s pronouncements and living witnesses of adults and young people that the reign of God is realized in and through Jesus. The ministry of evangelization incorporates several essential elements: witness, outreach, proclamation, invitation, conversion, and discipleship.
“ The ministry of justice and service nurtures in young people a social consciousness and a commitment to a life of justice and service rooted in their faith in Jesus Christ, in the Scriptures, and in Catholic social teaching; empowers young people to work for justice by concrete efforts to address the causes of human suffering; and infuses the concepts of justice, peace, and human dignity into all ministry efforts.” (RTV, p. 38) This component helps youth to develop an understanding of Catholic social teaching and assess the needs in the community that need attention/service.
“ The ministry of leadership development calls forth, affirms , and empowers the diverse gifts, talents, and abilities of adults and young people in our faith communities for comprehensive ministry with adolescents.” (RTV, p. 40) Leadership development provides opportunities for young people to develop and share their gifts with the wider community. Mentoring, training and skill building provide a variety of platforms for growth and development.
“ The ministry of pastoral care is a compassionate presence in imitation of Jesus’ care for people, especially those who were hurting and in need.” (RTV, p. 42) It involves promoting positive adolescent and family development through a variety of positive (preventive) strategies. These strategies include caring for adolescents and families in crisis through supports, counseling, and referral to appropriate community agencies; providing guidance as young people face life decisions and make moral choices, and challenging systems that are obstacles to positive development.
“ The ministry of prayer and worship celebrates and deepens young people’s relationship with Jesus Christ through the bestowal of grace, communal prayer, and liturgical experiences; it awakens their awareness of the spirit at work in their lives, it incorporates young people more fully in the sacramental life of the Church, especially Eucharist; it nurtures the personal prayer life of young people, and it fosters family rituals and prayer.” (RTV, p. 44) Prayer and worship encourages young people to experience deeply the richness of communal worship in the celebration of the liturgy. It also encourages an understanding of the discipline of personal prayer to encourage growth in their relationship with Christ.
