Connect to...the Mission of the Church in the World>Form your Conscience

  Forming a Christian Conscience

  Helping young adults form their conscience based on the Gospel and on the Church's moral and social teachings.

  Conscience formation is one of the most important aspects in ministry today. John Paul II spoke of the role of the laity as the evangelizers of

  society through the home and work.  Faith communities have a responsibility to prepare and support the laity in this task. Young  adults can 

  develop a Christian conscience by:

• Offering adult religious education programs that connect contemporary  life issues to the teachings and traditions of the Church.
• Provide seminars and discussion groups to examine the relationship of faith to work, including ethics in the workplace.
• Make use of homilies and sacramental celebrations, where appropriate, to incorporate a discussion of the role of the laity as evangelizers of society.
• Support and facilitate scripture study groups and small groups for married couples.
• Support the formation of ongoing, intergenerational small faith communities
