About our Topic for the 6th Annual Gathering on Youth Ministry ... In the Spring of 2019 the Vatican released the Popes Apostolic Exhortation Christus Vivit from Pope Francis. In it the Holy Father addressed “to young people and to the entire people of God,”! Pope Francis quotes heavily from the final document of the synod but also from saints, previous popes — including St. Paul VI, St. John Paul II, and Pope Benedict XVI — the documents of the Second Vatican Council, and also from his own addresses and documents. There also is input from the document that re-sulted from the pre-synodal meeting in March 2018 with young people. Come see how this can be or is being used in Youth Ministry.
