Sons and Daughters of the Light: Pastoral Plan for Ministry with Young Adults

Comment on Youth Articles in the forum

Men and women in their late teens, twenties, and thirties bring tremendous gifts to the Church. With this in mind, the U.S. bishops address the life situation of these individuals and offer a comprehensive and workable plan of action for connecting young adults with the Church, Jesus Christ, the mission of the Church in the world, and a peer community. Publication No. 5-127, 59pp.

Build a Culture of Life
World Youth Day 1996

This manual includes a message from the Holy Father, reflections, model programs, homily hints, and a sample weekend retreat. A bulletin flyer, clip art, and a commissioning certificate are provided as well for easy use and duplication. From the U.S. Bishops' Committee on the Laity and the Subcommittee on Youth. Publication No. 5-074, 56pp.

A Letter to College Students from the Catholic Bishops of the United States

The U.S. bishops celebrate the many gifts of their "coworkers in Christ"-faith, desire to serve, spiritual hunger, vitality, optimism and idealism, talents and skills-and speak to them about the wonderful opportunity for leadership in witnessing to the Gospel on campus. The letter also commemorates the tenth anniversary of Empowered by the Spirit and includes quotes from Pope John Paul II and suggested questions for spiritual reflection. No. 5-084, 8pp.

John Paul II
A Light for the Nations

Since his elevation to the papacy in 1978, Pope John Paul II has reshaped its image and the Church through his worldwide travels, statesmanship, and personal charisma. Produced on the occasion of the 50th Anniversary of his priesthood, John Paul II: A Light for the Nations is an intimate portrait of the life and ministry of the Holy Father as seen through the eyes of the childhood friends and church leaders. This program was produced by the Catholic Communication Campaign; a discussion guide is included and may be used for retreats and workshops as well as personal reflections. No. 5-032, 60 minutes
