Sessions have inspired contributions to Radio Maria and involvement in parish liturgy. Both junior and senior groups have grown, offering safe spaces for friendship, faith, and formation.
Young people lead discussions, take part in prayer and explore real life topics with respect and maturity.
CAA brings this model to other parishes to replicate success. Our role is to share what works, provide the tools and support, and accompany new youth groups as they grow.
Our Approach
A proven process for helping parishes establish successful youth groups.
Proactive engagement with parishes without youth groups, usually via parish priests.
Support for parishioners discerning leadership, including initial meetings, guidance, and mentorship.
A suite of templates, checklists, safeguarding steps, communication examples, and session plans.
Connecting parishes to each other, to youth services, and to opportunities for training, retreats, and gatherings.
Every successful youth group started with someone taking the first step. We're here to walk with you.
