Abstract

The purpose of this study is to help people better understand and engage with the participation of young people in the Holy Mass at Cần Thạnh Parish, Archdiocese of Saigon. The issue of the crisis and decline of faith among young people presents many challenges and concerns for the Church: What are the core issues in the faith life of young people? What do young people expect from the Church? What is the most effective way to help young people live their faith more strongly? In response to these concerns, this study aims to raise awareness, especially for those who are directly concerned and accompany young people, offering a clearer perspective so that they can develop appropriate programs and pastoral methods to support and guide young people in the parish, helping them grow and thrive in their faith life.
