YOUCAT (Brazil)

Youth Catechism of the Catholic Church

Affectionately called YOUCAT (short for Youth Catechism ), the Catholic Church's Youth Catechism reaches Brazilian readers as a concrete response to the desire of many young people who want to know, understand, and live their faith in a deep and authentic way.

Inspired by the richness of the Catechism of the Catholic Church , YOUCAT maintains the same doctrinal fidelity, but presents the content in a young, direct, and accessible language — with a dynamic, modern, and engaging graphic design.

✨ Clear and didactic structure

Organized in a question-and-answer format, the book is divided into four main parts:

• What We Believe
• How do we celebrate?
• Life in Christ
• How Should We Pray?

This structure facilitates personal study, group catechesis, youth meetings, and spiritual deepening.

🌿 Who is YOUCAT for?

YOUCAT was developed by priests, theologians, and religion teachers with the goal of presenting Church doctrine faithfully, yet in a way that is understandable to young people.
