The Catholic Civil Dialogue Initiative
Upcoming Virtual Dialogues for Youth:
Sunday, April 23 at 1:00 pm ET Tuesday, April 25 at 7:00 pm ET
The Catholic Civil Dialogue Initiative provides a safe space for youth to discuss Catholic Social Teaching and share perspectives on relevant topics. Each dialogue begins with the sharing of Church teaching on the general topic. Then trained facilitators encourage youth to share their thoughts on a particular issue, listen with genuine curiosity to their peers and finally to stop and consider their own values, beliefs, and ideas. We also encourage adult facilitators to share their experience and help set the stage for dialogue.
Join us for a virtual dialogue on one of the above dates. During these dialogues, you will join peers from across the country to engage in a dialogue on Catholic teaching. These dialogues are open to people of all ages, with separate breakout rooms for youth and adults. You must register to attend.
Register at least three days in advance at The Catholic Civil Dialogue Intiative website
A collaboration between the ADW, the Archdiocese of Newark, the Archdiocese of Mobile, the Diocese of Scranton, and the McGrath Institute at the University of Notre Dame.
