Veritas Posted April 28, 2007 Share Posted April 28, 2007 + Another thread lead me to wonder: What communities of brothers/priests and sisters have a specific apostolate of youth ministry? By youth, I mean teenage and perhaps college age. I'm particularly interested in men's communities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlterDominicus Posted April 28, 2007 Share Posted April 28, 2007 Um...haha, I have a Sister one. Salesian Sisters of Saint John Bosco [Hey Sister C I'm almost done with that Saint John Bosco book, maybe you could quiz me!! ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

philosophette Posted April 28, 2007 Share Posted April 28, 2007 Check out the [url="http://salesianvocations.org/"]Salesians of Don Bosco[/url]. They would be exactly what you are looking for. They are very Marian and Eucharistic. You'd love them! Going for a visit really makes all of the difference in the world. I love the Salesians!

AlterDominicus Posted April 28, 2007 Share Posted April 28, 2007 Of course you do "Sister" - I do to, but that doesnt mean anything! [j/k] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the lords sheep Posted April 28, 2007 Share Posted April 28, 2007 The Incarnate Word Fathers and the Sisters of the Lord and the Virgin of Matara often work with the youth. Their apostalate is not specifically for the youth, but to evangelize the culture answering JPII's call to new evangelization. [url="http://www.ive.org/index.asp"]IVE Fathers[/url] [url="http://www.ssvmusa.org"]SSVM Sisters[/url] The Franciscan Friars and Sisters of the Renewal also run youth programs and retreats. Again, their apostalate is not specifically for the youth but for the poor.

[j/k] [/quote] That's right! I'm preparing a little quiz for you! I hope you really did study! haha! BTW, Salesians work specifically with the young from preschool to college age. Generally you work with the group that you feel most comfortable with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fr. Antony Maria OSB Posted April 28, 2007 Share Posted April 28, 2007 If you're interested in teaching, the Benedictines and the Dominicans are well known for their famous teachers, as well as the Franciscans (who were already mentioned), and the Salesians I believe work specifically with poor boys (or that's how they started out, anyway). If you can get your hands on it, Vision Magazine has many different possibilities for religious orders, both men and women, as well as different advice on discernment. May God bless and protect you always in all of your endeavors, especially your discernment! Your Brother in Christ, Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, just to make clear, this isn't for me, it is more of a general type list to be helpful to anyone and everyone and just so we are all a bit more informed. Naz, are you at liberty to post a link to your Benedictines? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThyHolyLove Posted April 28, 2007 Share Posted April 28, 2007 The [url="http://www.brohope.net/index.html"]Brotherhood of Hope[/url] is another great order for guys. They do campus ministry and mens retreats. Their charism is to bring the Faith to college students on secular campuses. Right now they are at Florida State, Boston U., Northwestern,and Rutgers. I know they're on the older spectrum of the youth apostolate, but I think they still fit what you're looking for : Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Domine ut Videam Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 (edited) I was going to say the Brothers of St.John as well. And they have a priory in Illinois Joe. It is only about three hours away from the Chicago area and they have this cool, summer program that you might be interested in to get to know them. it is a week long retreat program that involves hiking/philiosophy/theology classes. here is the link:http://www.soaringforwisdom.com/ -Lauren Edited May 1, 2007 by Domine ut Videam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
