"Through the holiness of youth, the Church can renew its

renewits spiritualpassion and apostolic vigour."

— Pope Francis (Christus Vivit 50)

What is this about?

At the beginning of April, our long-standing collaboration with the Prodoteo Foundation, which had been very supportive of us, came to an end. In this new and unexpected situation, we are now completely dependent on our own resources and on donations from people who support our mission for the younger generation.

However, we believe that this is a time full of potential – a great opportunity to invite you to help shape our vision!

What exactly are we raising funds for?

We are raising funds so that our youth work can continue effectively over the next three months. We would like to cover the following costs:

• Purchase of materials for workshops (artistic, technical, medical, social media, integrative) at the weekly JafaTeens meetings(6th–8th grade) in May and June
• Organisation of a weekend retreat in May for teenagers from Krakow, Katowice and Warsaw – including fees for the guest speaker, T-shirts for participants, workshop materials and support for the service team that leads small groups, organises worship, cares for the young people and ensures their safety.
• Partial financing of the pilgrimage of our senior group and worship team to the 2025 Youth Jubilee in Rome, a central event of the Holy Year under the motto "Pilgrims of Hope".

Who are we?

We are a community of almost 50 people who have been creating a space with and for young people for over 7 years – in accordance with the words of Psalm 145:

"One generation praises Your works to the next and proclaims Your mighty deeds!"

Our vision

We want young people to encounter Jesus through our work and, if they decide to follow Him, to grow both in their faith and personally.

Our goal is for young people to reach full maturity in their Christian life – to become strong in the Lord, to be the light of the world and the salt of the earth, and to have a tangible influence on their environment.

How do we achieve this?

We offer regular formation events for four age groups – from preschoolers to upper secondary school students. The children's groups meet monthly, the youth groups (about 45 people) weekly.

During these meetings, we get to know God and ourselves better: we read the Bible, praise God with songs and dance, and listen to inspiring talks.

There is also room for discussion, doubts, questions and sharing experiences.

We are aware of the importance of deep relationships and personal development, which is why we invest in high-quality, creative workshops that promote talent and self-confidence. And, of course, we don't forget to have fun – to get to know each other better and have a good time together.

We also engage in ministry together with them – both within our groups (e.g. with the younger ones) and outside, for example on weekend trips or at school services and retreats.

Join us!

We invite you to become part of our vision – so that young people can become strong in the Lord, full of passion and joy, and free from sadness, fear and hopelessness!

The world needs authentic witnesses of hope – and they don't just fall from the sky, but are created through care and commitment.

Young people, don't wait until tomorrow to change the world with your energy,

courage and creativity. Your life is not an "in-between".

You are the now of God, who wants you to bear fruit.

— Pope Francis (Christus Vivit 178)
