CYMFed publication: 'Mapping the Terrain - Discovering the reality of Young Catholics'

One of the key aims of CYMFed is to develop and strengthen the direction for Catholic youth ministry in England and Wales. In order to set a direction for our journey, we set out to map the terrain of the world our young people inhabit. This research into the lives of young Catholics is a crucial element in enabling the whole Church to prayerfully consider its understanding of how we minister amongst young people.

Mapping the Terrain is a summary report of the key trends to emerge from a thorough research project conducted with a thousand young people.
