"All ministry with adolescents must be directed toward presenting young people with the Good News of Jesus Christ and inviting and challenging them to become his disciples... If we are to succeed, we must offer young people a spiritually challenging and world-shaping vision that meets their hunger for the chance to participate in a worthy adventure."

Adolescents and Faith Formation: An Evangelizing Catechesis:

The Bishops of the U.S. have identified catechesis as one of their top 4 priority areas in their 2008 � 2011 Strategic Plan. Within catechesis there is considerable attention being given to adolescent catechesis.
