dc.description.abstractIn the encyclical on the Mission of the Church, Redemptoris Missio, Pope John Paul IT includes the young in the list of priority issues of mission ad gentes. Mission to the youth of this "New worlds and new social phenomena" is being carried out in a "complex and changing reality2 and there are more than enough signs suggesting that the youth lack Christian communities that are sufficiently mature to help them live their full potential. Many youth in the Church need "re-evangelisation" or "new-evangelisation" because, although baptised, they have either not yet developed or have lost a living sense of their faith and they truly live a life far removed from Christ and from his Gospel? The Church has "not yet taken root in the youth." And, the culture of the youth has "not yet been influenced by the Gospel."4 Hence, the youth are still searching for a home in the Church. The urgency of mission to the youth cannot be ignored because both the present and the future of the Church belong to them. On the other hand, the youth, besides having special needs and requiring special approaches they have the right to know God and what He has done for them and for all in and through Christ.'en_US
