Encountering Christ

Encounter the Diversity of the Catholic Church

The Body of Christ is beautiful because in it we find all our cultures and identities, held together by our faith.

Encountering Christ is a video series created as a diversity and inclusion effort of NFCYM to serve as a resource for members to encounter the diversity of the Catholic Church. Through this series you can hear from our brothers and sisters how Catholicism is lived and experienced in relation to their culture. Our video series is divided into four segments that discuss: historical context, current realities, pastoral practices, and a panel discussion accompanied by reflection questions

This video series focuses on the Black and African American Catholic Community, and we hope you encounter Christ through our series.

"NFCYM has accompanied me in reaching out to like minded professionals to better provide service (ministry) to adolescents. NFCYM has allowed me to network and grow professionally.

'Youth as Protagonists' has been essential to Pastoral Juvenil Hispana in the Diocese of Austin."
