Background:
The call to address global poverty is rooted in the Gospel message and our celebration of the Eucharist. Teachers and youth ministers can help form youth as members of the Body of Christ who are called to right relationship; invited to solidarity; and sent on mission to transform our communities and world. Through Catholics Confront Global Poverty, sponsored by the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops and Catholic Relief Services, youth can engage in faith-filled, responsible participation in the life, mission and work of the Church and deepen their understanding of our connectedness to our brothers and sisters around the world. Join this interactive webinar to learn more about Catholics Confront Global Poverty as it relates to youth faith formation and youth ministry. A variety of resources will be available to help the young people you serve make a difference through prayer, learning, advocacy and action.
