Cardinal Timothy Dolan, Fr Robert Barron and the later Cardinal Basil Hume share their thoughts on the nature of evangelisation, the mission of the Church and how we are to respond to the mandte we receive at Baptism and Confirmation to make disciples. Their thoughts are put alongside the thoughts and experieces of Harry Wilson, the MYMission Line Manager, who has worked as a Catholic Head Teacher and also as a member of the YCW. This podcast will help you focus not simply on the 'how' of Cathoilc Youth Ministry but, in this Year of Faith, the 'why' - Jesus Christ, the Son of God.
