A Missionary Movement at the Service of the Church.
Jesus Youth is an international Catholic movement with a Charismatic spirituality. Rooted in a personal encounter with Jesus Christ, we are a global family of young people, married couples, priests, and religious growing in holiness through prayer, the Word of God, the Sacraments, fellowship, and active evangelization in contemporary society.

Youth Responding
Young people touched by this renewal began forming scattered prayer groups and youth fellowships.
First Structured Gatherings
The Kerala Service Team (KST) organized the first Charismatic Youth Convention (with around 800 participants), sparking Bible camps and retreats.
Leadership Evolution
Specialized youth leadership training ("Know Yourself") and the first Kerala Youth Central Team (KYCT) emerged, along with initial outreach to children.
