Service

Since we are disciples of the God of life, who became a man in order to give his life for all and always showed love and mercy with those in need, we also have the responsibility of being a presence of love in a particular way among those who are weak or in need.  It is thus essential that our pastoral work is differentiated and flexible, addressed to all young people – without excluding anyone.  In the same way, it is also important that young people encounter those who are weak and in need with the same spirit of Christ, in a way that they not only see Christ in their neighbour but also in a way that those who receive their help experience the love of Christ.  Against this background, KDZ seeks to encourage voluntary work among young people and that they are the young people themselves who create and experience it.  KDZ also has the responsibility of being the voice of those young people who are weak or are at the outskirts of society.  It should make sure that pastoral work done in the diocese also reaches these young people and should not this be the case, it has to actively work to provide groups/institutions to help these youth, thus promoting Volunteer Information Service (VIS).
