  • A Way of Life for Young Catholics
    1 A WAY OF LIFE FOR YOUNG CATHOLICS Fr Stephen Wang This Way of Life is written for young Catholics who want to live their faith more deeply but are not sure what steps to take. It contains practical, down-to-earth advice on all sorts of issues that come up in the lives of young Catholics, whether those issues are spiritual (‘How to pray’, ‘How to go to confession’) or moral (‘How to deal with alcohol and drugs’, ‘How far can I go with my boyfriend or girlfriend?’) or emotional (‘How to stop worrying’, ‘How to cope with suffering’) or vocational (‘How to discover my vocation’, ‘How to find a good husband or wife’). This booklet is not for experts, but for ordinary young people who have been touched by God in some way but are not sure how to respond. It will be especially helpful for older confirmation candidates, for students at college and university, and for young adults who are hoping to learn more about their faith and put it into practice in the reality of their daily lives. Fr Stephen Wang is a priest in the Diocese of Westminster. He has worked in parish ministry and seminary formation, and is currently Senior University Chaplain in his Diocese. He is the author of How to Discover Your Vocation and The New Evangelisation. [This booklet is published by the Catholic Truth Society. It is used here with permission from the author.

Please encourage the young people you know to gather at YOUTH 2000, where they can learn more about our faith...meet Jesus in the Eucharist…feel His healing love...make new friends from around the diocese…enjoy live music — and have some fun! Program Following the model of World Youth Day, the event includes daily Mass, the rosary, Eucharistic adoration, dynamic catechesis by the Franciscan Friars of the Renewal, live music, and lay testimonials as well as great food, snacks, and social time. Some new guest speakers are coming this year! Many of our diocesan priests come to concelebrate and hear confessions. On Saturday participants can ask questions of a select panel of clergy and laity. The panelists come well prepared to explain Church teaching on matters large and small — especially on tough issues of faith and morals — with clarity, charity, and wit.

  • Retreats and Conferences Summary
    Retreats and Conferences Summary There is a lot of confusion about the many retreats and conferences that are available for Directors of Youth Ministry and young people across the country. Below is a summary of the many opportunities that are available each year along with an editorial on each by Kevin Bohli. I would recommend that each Director of Youth Ministry and youth ministry volunteer attend at least one conference and one spiritual retreat every year. You should speak with your pastors about paying for these activities out of the youth ministry budget. Youth Ministry Conferences for Adults Conferences are a great opportunity to learn new ministry practices, to spend time with thousands of other youth ministers who share your joys and struggles, and to make contacts with organizations, speakers, or performers from across the country. They also help to motivate you to become recommitted to your ministry and help prevent burnout. • Youth Specialties National Youth Workers Convention – each year there are three of these conferences in the fall…one on the west coast, one in the Midwest, and one on the east coast. Go to www.youthspecialties.com for more information and for this year’s dates. Each conference consists of about 3000 youth workers from all Christian denominations. This conference is supposed to be “inter-denominational”, but you will find that Catholics are poorly represented when it comes to the entertainment, speakers, and resources. The talks and resources are excellent training on the basics of youth ministry, and in identifying the behavior of adolescents today, but everything must be taken with a “grain of salt” and you need to modify what you hear to apply the practices and ideas in your Catholic youth program.
