CBCP Year of the Youth

The Church is anxious that this society that you are going to build up should respect the dignity, the liberty, and the rights of individuals. These individuals are you. The Church is particularly anxious that this society should allow free expansion to her treasure ever ancient and ever new, namely faith, and that your souls may be able to break freely in its helpful light.

                                                                                                              From the Message of the
                                                                                                             2nd Vatican Council to the youth 

...since youth constitutes a large and dynamic portion of the laity, the youth ministy should be assured of the fullest attention and highest priority by all in the Church.
