Pastors' Perspectives on Accompanying Young People
This resource was created through a consultative process with Gen-Z Latinos and pastoral ministers that work with them. It includes common experiences of adolescents, and jóvenes (single young adults 18 to 29 years old) Instituto Fe y Vida works with nationwide.
The document has three goals:
• To offer pastors, ministers and parents, a view of the way many Latino young people experience the world and their joys, sorrows, hopes, and challenges.
• To foster a reflection and a more informative pastoral response that helps facilitate a profound sense of community for young Latinos in their families and parishes.
• To encourage deeper listening and accompaniment of adolescents and jóvenes through open and honest conversations.
