'Mapping the Terrain - Discovering the reality of Young Catholics'
One of the key aims of CYMFed is to develop and strengthen the direction for Catholic youth ministry in England and Wales. In order to set a direction for our journey, we set out to map the terrain of the world our young people inhabit. This research into the lives of young Catholics is a crucial element in enabling the whole Church to prayerfully consider its understanding of how we minister amongst young people.
Mapping the Terrain is a summary report of the key trends to emerge from a thorough research project conducted with a thousand young people.

This is accompanied by an application process, 'Detailed Typology', soon available for purchase from our store for only £5.00 (plus 50p p&p), which can be used to examine the implications of some of these trends in your local context.
This will be followed by a comprehensive document – due for publication in Autumn 2010 – which will unpack the statistics in more detail, as well as highlighting other valuable sources of background information and comparisons with national and other denominational statistics where appropriate.
