To assist the Catholic Church in Latvia with evangelism to the youth, guidelines for pastoral work with youth were presented at the Priesthood Conference of the Archdiocese of Riga in October 2020. The document, which the working group worked on for a year, listed the main problems faced by young people and also looked at the ideals to be pursued in creating an encouraging environment for young people in Latvian Catholic congregations. The guidelines developed and Christus Vivit are an excellent basis for future work. These guidelines need to be put into practice, young people and churches need real support, a program needs to be developed, these materials need to be presented in churches and schools, and church representatives need to be prepared and trained.

Interviews with priests of the Archdiocese of Riga, members of various communities and organizations, as well as youth itself and their parents are planned. It must be a cooperation. Several organizations in Latvia work for the benefit of young people and their common goal is to support young people, help them find the meaning of life, including getting to know God.
