What is YOUCAT ?

YOUCAT is probably one of the most successful Catholic youth books in the world; it is a catechism (YOUth CATechism) for young people. The most important contents of the faith are summarized briefly and comprehensibly in the format of questions and answers. In his preface, Benedict XVI invites young people to “read it together, if you are friends, form groups and study networks, exchange ideas on the Internet. In any case remain in dialogue on your faith!”

What is YOUCAT?

Pope Francis in his Apostolic letter Sanctuarium in Ecclesia invites all places of pilgrimage to become more and more places of a New Evangelization. YOUCAT and the Sanctuary of Lourdes have decided to unite their synergies in 2018 in order to propose activities for the youth in the perspective of this New Evangelization.
