Abstract

The youthful age is a period of trial and error. It is a phase of endless exploration, experimentation and enquiries. While some are being driven to Pentecostalism by the wave of the time, due to old method of teaching the faith; the Church must not relent in repeating the fact that the Catholic faith must be valued. On this, the catechetical model of Osogbo Diocese has been presented elaborately which to a large extent is meeting with the needs of today’s youths in communicating the faith in its simplest form. At the end, it was suggested that other Dioceses should adopt these methods to keep the youths in the Catholic Church forever.
