Young People Surveys

If you’re aged between 13 and 29 and living in England or Wales, we invite you to complete the Mega Youth Poll. This is a survey that the Catholic Church have devised to hear what young people have to say about their life, faith and vocational discernment, which will be used in a report that will be sent to the Vatican in preparation for the 2018 General Assembly of the Synod next year led by Pope Francis.

'Vocational Discernment is the way by which a person discovers how to follow Jesus in their way of life and their work.'

We would also love to hear from those who care for or work with young people aged between 13-29. If this is you, please spare a short moment in time to complete this separate survey.

Closing date for both surveys is Friday 30 June 2017.
