Catholic Civil Dialogue Initiative
Our program is built around the consistent life ethic and encourages youth to engage in dialogues on a broad range of issues. Youth are encouraged to participate in multiple dialogues to learn about different topics across the spectrum of a consistent life ethic. Topics for dialogue may include:

Speaking up for Human Life and Dignity

Catholic Perspectives on Immigration

Racial Justice and the Catholic Church

Violence in our Communities

Each dialogue begins with the sharing of catechetical resources to explore Church teaching on the general topic. We also encourage adult facilitators to share their experience and help set the stage for dialogue.

During each dialogue, trained facilitators encourage youth to share their thoughts on a particular issue and listen with genuine curiosity to their peers. Each participant is given the time and space to stop and consider their own values, beliefs, and ideas.
