Renewing the Vision: A Framework for Catholic Youth Ministry (1997)
Renewing the Vision builds on the 1976 document, “A Vision of Youth Ministry”. Renewing the Vision is seen as a “call to make ministry with adolescents a concern for the entire Church community, especially for leaders in parishes, schools, and dioceses.”
Goals for Ministry with Adolescents
- To empower young people to live as disciples of Jesus Christ our world today
- To draw young people to responsible participation in the life, mission and work of the Catholic faith community
- To foster the total personal and spiritual growth of each young person
Themes of a Comprehensive Vision

- Family Friendly
- Intergenerational
- Multicultural
- Community-wide Collaboration
