Pope Francis has urged Catholics from around the world to "make more room for the voices of young people to be heard" (Christus Vivit, 38). There is much to learn from young people's wisdom and questions. Do we dare to listen to them? This workshop is an invitation to listen, particularly to young adult Latina and Latino Catholics. We will hear testimonies and life stories that carry hope as well as some necessary critiques. Together we will reflect about what happens when we listen to young people and discern pastoral implications to accompany them on their journey of faith.
