(From "Vision of Youth Ministry" USCC: 1976)
In 1996 the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) published Renewing the Vision: A Framework for Catholic Youth Ministry (RTV). This document affirms a previous document drafted by the USCCB in the mid 1970's, A Vision for Youth Ministry. In RTV, the Bishops outline very clear goals and objectives which are to be a part of ANY Catholic youth ministry program, whether in a parish or in a Catholic school.
Our new high school youth program follows the guidance of the USCCB, and encompasses the two main objectives of youth ministry: catechesis and discipleship.
