New National Pastoral Framework for Ministries with Youth and Young Adults
The Catholic bishops of the United States approved a National Pastoral Framework for Ministries with Youth and Young Adults entitled Listen, Teach, Send, which was brought to the body of bishops by the Committee on Laity, Marriage, Family Life and Youth in June 2024. This document is the U.S. response to Pope Francis' 2019 exhortation on young people, Christus Vivit, and addresses the concerns of youth, young adults, families, and pastoral ministers across the country.
