About
Welcome to the CYS
The Catholic Youth Society (CYS) is a vibrant national community for youth ages 11–18. Guided by the patronage of Saint Carlo Acutis, the CYS reaches across every distance to form a joyful family centered on Jesus Christ. Through weekly virtual faith studies, live rosaries, and monthly chapter meetings, we cultivate a loving, devoted community rooted in Catholic tradition, bringing young people closer together and to Christ.
Vision
The Present and The Future
We believe that youth are not just the future of the Church—they are the present. In a world full of digital distractions and isolation, the Catholic Youth Society calls young people nationwide to a higher mission. Guided by Saint Carlo Acutis, our vision is to equip youth with a vibrant prayer life, a deep understanding of the Catholic faith, and an active relationship with Christ. We empower teens to be a force for good today, while encouraging strong participation in their local parishes and guiding them to discern their unique God-given vocation.
