Commission for Youth
To walk with young people as companions in faith, helping them discover Christ as the way, the truth and the life.
The Commission for Youth aims to form vibrant, dynamic, and committed young people. It helps them grow in their personal, spiritual, and professional lives. The Commission nurtures youth to love God, face challenges with courage, and build a better community based on Gospel values.
Over the next ten years, it will promote youth leadership, missionary training, and holistic development. It will also share information about professional courses and job opportunities, and create awareness among youth to protect themselves from substance abuse and other harmful influences.
