The National Dialogue on Catholic Pastoral Ministry with Youth and Young Adults, a collaborative and synodal experience of the Church in the United States, is the answer to Pope Francis’ call for accompaniment, conversation, and dialogue.
In three phases, the National Dialogue has aimed to unify the ministerial field, engage youth and young adults and ministry leaders in meaningful dialogue, and mobilize the Church to integrate and implement the key insights from this process, the XV Synod on Young People, the Faith and Vocational Discernment, and the V Encuentro. After hundreds of conversations between thousands of young people, the National Dialogue has collected and lifted up thousands of voices of the youth and young adults in the United States in one document. Each and every voice matters and we are excited to share them with you.
