    The Impact Of The Contemporary Challenges On Young People’s Engagement In The Catholic Church Today: A Pastoral Concern Of Our Lady Of Visitation Nabbingo Parish, Kampala Archdiocese-Uganda
    (Tangaza University, 2022) Nsibambi Gonzaga
    During my apostolate in Our Lady of Visitation Nabbingo parish, I discovered that young people are granted excessive freedom which has impacted their social-economic, psychological, physical and religious lifestyles, by contributing to their fixation, and undesirable behaviors like gambling, vandalism, stealing, drugs and even prostitution in order to quench their immediate needs and desires and quit the life of God in their daily ways of life. And so despite the efforts done by the Parish to attract and engage young people in Church activities, there is still lack of interest, involvement and active participation of young people in the Church. The continual disengagement of young people, may lead the future Catholic Church into crisis of the faithful members. It is due to this observation from different parishes that I chose this topic so as to investigate on how pastorally the Church can make them understand the importance of God in their lives, help them to overcome the mushrooming obstacles they encounter in life, and suggest possible ways of making them quest for God and be actively engaged in all Catholic Church activities.
