The National Black Catholic Congress would like to provide you with the following Catholic youth and young adult web sites.

Comment on Youth Articles in the forum

The challenges of sexual intercourse that many youth face today are more difficult than those of the baby-boomers, and previous generations through negative outside influences. In order to communicate with youth effectively, Mr. Washington presents his abstinence message on a level that young people understand. To learn more about speaker Darren Washington and his message on abstinence for singles visit his web site: www.abstinenceforsingles.com
