Youth Ministry

Ashley Mills had initially charted a future in the skies as a professional pilot. However, her career path took off toward a higher calling, with faith fuelling her mission in guiding young hearts closer to Christ.

Amid the bustling experience of spiritually accompanying 48 young adults attending the Jubilee of Youth in Rome from July 28 to Aug. 3, Fr. Troy Nguyen video-conferenced with The Catholic Register while walking the streets of the Eternal City.

The Catholic Children's Aid Society of Toronto took its mission internationally this summer, offering youth in care opportunities to connect with their faith and heritage.

The fullness of life depends on how much one joyfully welcomes and shares in life while also living with a constant yearning for those things that only come from God, Pope Leo XIV told young people.

A solo traveler, even using Google maps and ChatGPT, cannot safely and happily complete the journey of life or the journey of faith, Pope Leo XIV told thousands of young pilgrims meeting at the Marian shrine in Medjugorje, Bosnia-Herzegovina.

Addressing an estimated 1 million young people, Pope Leo XIV urged them to forge genuine relationships rooted in Christ rather than ephemeral online connections that can reduce individuals to a commodity.

Canadian pilgrims in Rome for the week-long Jubilee of Youth were delighted when Pope Leo XIV made an impromptu appearance in St. Peter’s Square immediately following the conclusion of the July 29 Welcoming Mass.

Volunteers watching over the relics of Blessed Pier Giorgio Frassati gently placed items from the faithful on top of his casket to make a third-class relic for the visitors to the Basilica of Santa Maria sopra Minerva, near Rome's Pantheon, one afternoon during the Jubilee of Youth.

Along one of Rome's busiest streets, Via del Corso, traffic moves slowly as hundreds of pilgrims crisscross traffic on foot to get to their destination.

More than half a million young people from 146 countries are set to arrive July 28 for the start of the weeklong Jubilee of Youth, which will include a special Jubilee dedicated to Digital Missionaries and Catholic Influencers.
