It is the entire Church community that is called upon to ministry to adolescents. A team/companion approach for various ages, experiences, and gifts is vital. Together the formation of adolescents affirms them as full, active participants of the Church. The componts of such programs needs to be built around comprehensive youth ministry in every parish that sees itself as building disciples for Jesus Christ. Parishes must strive to provide Youth Ministry for all adolescents in their parishes.
