YOUCAT is
short for Youth Catechism of the
Catholic Church, which will be
launched on World Youth Day.
Developed with the help of young
Catholics and written for
high-school age people and young
adults, YOUCAT
is an accessible, contemporary
expression of the Catholic
Faith. The appealing graphic
format includes
Questions-and-Answers,
highly-readable commentary,
summary definitions of key
terms, Bible citations and
inspiring and thought-provoking
quotes from Saints and others in
the margins. What's more,
YOUCAT is keyed
to the Catechism of the Catholic
Church, so people can go deeper.
It explains:
- What Catholics believe
and why (doctrine)
- How Catholics celebrate
the mysteries of the faith
(sacraments)
- How Catholics are to
live (moral life)
- How they should pray
(prayer and spirituality)
The questions are direct and
honest, even at times tough; the
answers straightforward,
relevant, and compelling. YOUCAT
will likely become the "go-to"
place for young people to learn
the truth about the Catholic
faith.
