The Young Life Catholic Forum is a nationwide gathering of leaders who care about Christ, kids, and the Church.
We’re meeting to talk about a global movement – the missionary partnership between the world’s largest Christian tradition and the world’s most effective Christian outreach to teenagers.
The Forum is a joint venture between YL and the Catholic Church.
The forum is being organized by the National Leadership Team for Young Life-Catholic Relations in collaboration with the Diocese of Brooklyn (serving Brooklyn and Queens) under the direction from Auxilliary Bishop James Massa. The presenters and worship leaders will represent a broad spectrum of Young Life and Catholic leadership and ministers.
"For more than a generation, Young Life has led young people to the joy of encounter with Jesus Christ their Lord and friend. The Catholic Community is blessed to participate in the year's upcoming meeting in the heart of New York City." Most Reverend James Massa, Auxiliary Bishop of Brooklyn
Everyone who loves Christ, kids, and the Church - pastors, priests, youth ministers, Young Life leaders, parents, Bishops, Diocesan staff, teachers, administrators, city-dwellers and small town folk. This will be a beautiful exhibition of “unity in diversity” within the body of Christ.
The Lord is calling Young Life and the Catholic Church to partner in such a way as to change the course of history, one kid at a time.
“One of the great opportunities you will get this year - to worship with a couple hundred friends and co-workers, to hear from speakers, get practical training in workshops, hear compelling testimonies on how God is reaching both Catholic and Protestant teenagers around the globe. Come be a part of a vision to reach the next generation of young people with the Gospel of Jesus Christ.”
