Youth ministry renewal guidelines in the context of the process of secularisation in EuropePrzygoda, Wiesław (Avtor) secularisationyouthyouth ministryevangelisationsocial apostolateSecularisation, coupled with the forces of globalisation, cultural revolu-tion, individualism, subjectivism, moral relativism, and the pervasive impact of modern information and communication technologies, continues to exert si-gnificant influence on the religious landscape, particularly among the younger generation in Euro-Atlantic civilisation. This article initially presents a synthetic characterisation of the religiosity of contemporary youth in Europe. The main purpose of our inquiry is the exploration of potentials for revitalising youth pastoral care, which must grapple with the influence of secularisation and its detrimental impact on Christian faith. Our investigation hinges on the following elements proposed for the renewal of youth pastoral care: a) revival of (pre)- evangelisation; b) active participation in building the Church community; c) fostering social involvement through engagement in the Church’s apostolate; and d) adopting new language and communication forms that resonate with the contemporary youth. To conduct this pastoral-theological analysis, we draw upon the findings of social research on the religiosity of youth, correlating the-se insights with the current teachings of the Catholic Church. Additionally, we integrate emerging ideas from the public discourse aimed at enhancing youth pastoral care. The ultimate objective is to provide actionable insights for deve-loping an effective response to the challenges posed by secularisation, thereby nurturing and preserving the Christian faith among the younger generation.20252025-12-30 14:28:10Članek v reviji177646UDK: 27-46-053.6(4)ISSN pri članku: 0006-5722DOI: 10.34291/BV2025/02/PrzygodaCOBISS_ID: 262089475sl
