Youth Leader [HT] Formation
Many misunderstand our Catholic Faith. To better prepare our VEYM Youth Leaders for ministry in our Church, we provide here the most helpful resources regarding frequently misunderstood beliefs about our Holy Catholic Faith.
Instructions:
- Please choose at least seven topics and review at least one resource per topic (#1-9). For example: 1b, 2f, 5d, 6c, 7a, 8e, 3a.
- Write 1-2 pages (double-spaced) per topic sharing your thoughts and any questions (12 pt font, Times New Roman, 1-inch margins). Please cite the resources where needed (including video time-stamps when applicable).
- Once finished, log into your VEYM account to upload your completed document here (and promotion application). Please submit as a single Word (.doc) or PDF file.
- Plagiarism will not be tolerated and will negatively affect your application for promotion.
- Viewpoints opposing Church teaching will not necessarily result in disqualification for promotion, but will necessitate further discussion.
- If you have questions, contact Tr. Evan Pham at his VEYM email.
