"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."
Renewing the Vision:  A Framework for Catholic Youth Ministry, pg. 10, USCCB 1997
