Church documents agree that adolescent catechesis seeks to form adolescent Christian disciples.
The GDC designates evangelization as the church's essential mission in the world and situates catechesis as one function within it.
The NDC, published after both RTV and the GDC, acknowledges the role of comprehensive youth ministry in adolescent catechesis, but it does not resolve the confusion.
It may well be time for an alignment of vision for youth ministry.
Refocusing CatholicYouth Ministry
•Discipleship
Discipleship
We need to provide concrete ways by which the demands, excitement, and adventure of being a disciple of Jesus Christ can be personally experienced by adolescents
Discipleship
Young people need to have a true opportunity for exploring what discipleship ultimately involves.
Discipleship
The Christian faith is, above all, conversion to Jesus Christ
Discipleship
This conversion is the acceptance of a personal relationship with Christ, a sincere adherence to him, and a willingness to conform one’s life to His.
Discipleship
Be prepared to put your life on the line in order to enlighten the world with the truth of Christ; to respond with love to hatred and disregard for life; to proclaim the hope of the risen Christ in every corner of the earth.
Discipleship
• Are we truly taxing and testing teens’resources?• Do they have true opportunities to explore what discipleship involves?• Are we (with the Spirit) seeking conversion, relationship with Christ, adherence, and conformity?• Is discipleship “life on the line” stuff?

First articulated in A Vision of Youth Ministry, these ministry components describe the "essence" of ministry with adolescents and provide the Church with eight fundamental ways to minister effectively with adolescents.
Hand in Hand:Evangelization and Catechesis
Today, in light of our National Strategy on Vocations, we add vocational discernment to the "essence" of ministry with adolescents.

• Relationships not Programs
Relationshipsnot Programs
A Vision of Youth Ministry did not recommend program models or specific activities, recognizing that the day had passed when one program structure could respond to all the needs of youth.

Effective ministry with adolescents was built on relationships. The central place of the Emmaus story in A Vision of Youth Ministrydemonstrated the primacy of relationships and of discovering God within those relationships.

Renewing the Vision is a call to make ministry with adolescents a concern for the entire church community, especially for leaders in parishes, schools, and dioceses.

When we Refocus Our Vision, we need to call all leaders in parishes, schools, and dioceses to make sure the concerns of the entire church community are part of our ministry with adolescents.
