Youth Ministry
Pastoral Juvenil Hispana Reflections: Using the structure of the pastoral circle, we recognize that each youth, from their reality, is a protagonist in their community—exploring diverse ways to express themselves, encounter God and examine the reality of injustice in the world. To this end, the five sessions below are designed to reflect on Scripture, create unique opportunities for prayer and build global solidarity, personally and communally.
