Apostolate

Our Mission

“God is the giver of youth and he is at work in the life of each young person.”

- Pope Francis, Christus Vivit

People are choosing whether or not to follow Jesus at an increasingly young age.

The world floods young people with ideas, arguments, and opportunities contrary to the Gospel.

The young Church needs bold shepherding.

The young Church needs St. Joseph.

OF YOUTH AND YOUNG ADULT MINISTRY

CONFERENCE

Every February, we gather bishops, priests, seminarians, and ministry leaders from Colombia and surrounding countries for encouragement, empowerment, and equipping. Participants leave with practical and effective tools for youth and young adult ministry.

We seek life transformation for Colombian children, youth, and young adults by providing experiential encounters with God, spaces for accompaniment, and opportunities to serve the needy. Hundreds of young people in the Bógota area are impacted every week through wholistic ministry, including discipleship groups, community service, and sacramental preparation.

EXPERIENCE GOD

We facilitate life experiences that allow people to encounter God in the midst of their daily realities, promoting inner healing, strengthening their identity in Christ, and helping them discover their life purpose through reflection and spiritual exercises. Thousands of young adults in Bógota and Medellín have been impacted by workshops, retreats, and ongoing accompaniment.
