contents <p><strong><span>Abstract:</span></strong><span> This paper analyzes the role of the Church in the formation of young people within a cultural context marked by postmodernity, individualism, and the loss of moral reference points. The study highlights the theological foundations of the Church’s mission, the responsibility of the ecclesial community toward younger generations, and the need for an educational paradigm that cultivates discernment, empathy, identity, and communion. In the face of current spiritual, cultural, social, and psychological crises, the Church is called to offer young people a stable framework of guidance, an authentic Christian way of life, and concrete support for their integration into the community and society. The formation of young people thus becomes an essential missionary act, capable of shaping the future of both the Church and the world.</span></p> <p><strong><span>Keywords:</span></strong><span> Youth, Christian Formation, Mission, Identity, Community</span></p>
