Partnership for Adolescent Catechesis

To further the comprehensive approach to adolescent catechesis, the National Federation for Catholic Youth Ministry (NFCYM), the National Conference for Catechetical Leadership (NCCL), and the National Catholic Educational Association (NCEA) with the support of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) are collaborating together on the Partnership for Adolescent Catechesis (PAC). The collective goal of the Partnership is to promote a comprehensive and contemporary understanding of adolescent catechesis and to develop and support effective approaches to Catholic faith formation in parishes and schools.

Ready-to-Go Ideas

Coordinators of Youth Ministry: One of the resources that youth ministry is rich with is "People". Consider having a Scavenger Hunt for Food to benefit your local Food Pantry or Soup Kitchen with your young people. Open the files below to see how to bring this event to life. One way that you can ensure that young people understand that hunger and poverty affects people all during the year is to offer experiences like this Food Scavenger Hunt on a monthly or every other month basis.
