Jesus Youth A Missionary Movement at the Service of the Church.
Jesus Youth is an international Catholic movement that challenges young people to live a meaningful, creative and fulfilling life.

    The Catholic Charismatic Renewal, which brought a spiritual revival to the global Catholic Church, reached Kerala around 1975–76. From this movement, Jesus Youth began to grow among young people. In 1978, the first charismatic youth convention was held at Thevara College, Ernakulam, marking a key milestone.
In 1985, during the International Youth Year, a major youth conference led to the name “Jesus Youth.” The movement grew by following six pillars: personal prayer, Scripture reading, sacramental life, fellowship, service to the poor, and evangelization.
From Kerala, it spread worldwide. In Dubai, it began on March 23, 1995, with 23 members at St. Mary’s Church. Today, Jesus Youth is active in about 30 countries and received Vatican recognition in 2016.
