3-YEAR PASTORAL FORMATION TRACKOVERVIEW

Committed to the direction of “Greater Sustainability in the Grassroots Level,” CFC Youth for Christ (YFC) is moving to empower more the YFC members and give them pastoral formation that will help them in their spiritual growth and nourishment. YFC also acknowledges the fact that its members need to grow not only in his/her personal relationship with God but also grow in his/her relationship with the family, friends, the community and the society where he/she belongs in.

More so, YFC believes that intense pastoral support is needed by a YFC member not just in the first year of his/her membership, but all throughout his/her YFC life. Because of this, YFC starts to give pastoral formation in the first three years of YFC membership. Hence, the 3-Year Pastoral Formation Track for YFC general membership.

The 3-Year Pastoral Formation (PFO) Track is the new-compiled pastoral module of YFC given to all members of YFC regardless of area or program of service. It is composed of twelve (12) modules, which will start with a Youth Camp, the entry activity of those who want to join YFC.

PHASES OF EVANGELIZATION

The 3-Year Pastoral Formation (PFO) Track caters to three (3) Phases of Evangelization, which represents the number of years of YFC membership.

YEAR 1 – KNOWING THE FAITH This is the phase when a YFC started getting to know God more and started

learning to experience belonging to a support community like YFC.

[3-Year PFO Overview and Pastoral Planning Workshop]

He/she starts getting to know his/her family more in the light of Christian values and principles.

He/she starts being open to the idea that loving the poor is an expression of loving God.

YEAR 2 – DEEPENING THE FAITH This is the phase where a YFC is called to a deeper relationship with God by

taking more active role in the family and by taking faith a step higher by exemplifying excellence in studies and living a 100% Free life.

2


YEAR 3 – LIVING OUT THE FAITH This is the phase where a YFC’s conviction is strengthened and lived out by

taking active discernments for the future that God has in store him/her; by actively participating in the sacraments and in workings of the bigger Church; and by taking a pro-active stand in the issues in the society.

THE 3-YEAR PASTORAL FORMATIION AT A GLANCE

The modules are further divided into the different areas of growth of a YFC member, namely: personal life, family life, community life and membership in the society. Below is the 3-Year PFO matrix.

Of the 12 PFO Tracks, 3 are old YFC manuals which are fully revised to cater to the changing times. These tracks are the following:

1. YOUTH CAMP- The Youth Camp is the entry point to YFC. It is a 2-day, 2-night weekend activity

that introduces the youth to a new life in Christ, through YFC, founded in God’s ultimate love for them. This will start their journey as a YFC member and will open new and exciting opportunities for them to grow in their personal relationship with God.

- The Revised Youth Camp Manual features a more extensive explanation of the Youth Camp, its compositions, activities and sessions. It will address the question “how is the Youth Camp conducted… really?” and will lay down the principles behind its activities, debunking practices that is not really part of our culture but have been done over the years.

- This includes new handbooks for the Team Leaders, Facilitators and Prayer Warriors.

2. COVENANT ORIENTATION- The Covenant Orientation (CO) is the Pastoral Formation Track that laid down

our commitments as YFC members, as shown in the YFC Covenant Card.- Objectives of the Covenant Orientation are:

1. Learn and understand the covenant of a CFC Youth for Christ member.2. Renew and deepen our commitment with Christ by understanding and

following our covenant with Him.3. Develop a sense of identity and responsibility in our role as a believer of

faith, a member of our church, our family, our community and our country.4. Inspire the youth as they mature in their Christian life through YFC.5. Live out the covenant of YFC through the pastoral formation and activities.

3. DISCOVERY CAMP- The Discovery Camp is the 1st pastoral formation track on the members 2nd year

in YFC. It is given one year after the Youth Camp. - This talks about more extensively the different aspects of a YFC’s life and shows

the YFC Christian way of dealing with these aspect. It also serves as a refresher course for the YFC members of their experience in their youth camp. This activity aims to bring them to a deeper level of commitment to God, to YFC and to their households.

GENERAL GUIDELINES IN THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE MANUALS

A. Who will attend the PFO? All YFC members are required to go through all the Pastoral Formation (PFO)

tracks regardless of service (whether one has been given bigger responsibility as a YFC Youth Head) and program, ideally in the first three years of their membership in YFC.

We indicated that it is ideal because we cannot avoid instances when members fail to attend a particular PFO track at the time they are supposed to. In which case, they will be asked to attend the same PFO track the next time it will be made available. The crucial part is to make sure that ALL members attend ALL Pastoral Formation Tracks.

B. What level of implementation?All the PFO tracks are conducted in the following levels except for the Youth

Camp, which is conducted on a Chapter level: Community Based - Cluster level Highschool – School level Campus – Sector (for schools on the initial stage) and Campus level

Note: Schools on the initial level are campuses that are still starting to form its officers and have no youth camp, and formal recognition from the campus.

TORCH – sector levelNote: All the Torch Members who are serving in different YFC programs

attend their regular PFO track with the Program they are serving.

C. Who will implement? Community Based - Cluster Coordinator and Youth Head Highschool – Club President Campus - Sector Coordinator and Youth Head (for initial stage only) and

Executive Vice President (for the rest of the levels) Torch – sector coordinator and youth head

D. Who will monitor? The immediate heads will monitor whether the PFO tracks are being conducted. For Community Based - Commbased Sector coordinators and Youth Heads Highschool – Highschool Program volunteer Campus – Campus program youth head (for the initial stage) and Campus

President (for the rest of the growth levels) Torch - Provincial Program Coordinators and Youth Heads

PASTORAL PLANNING

Since we will be having new teaching tracks to conduct, it is crucial to ensure that we plot out and schedule the PFO tracks every year. A thorough Pastoral Planning must be conducted per cluster (Sector, in case of the YFC Programs) at the start of the YFC Year (which is April to April of the following year).

YFC Pastoral Planning is the systematic way of plotting out the different YFC teachings at the given year to ensure that all YFC members are able to go through them.

A. GENERAL GUIDELINES FOR PASTORAL PLANNING1. Pastoral Planning. Pastoral Planning is done annually before the start of the YFC

year, it is ideally conducted in March or earlier2. Different Roles. Note the complementary roles of the Chapter and the Cluster when

it comes to the different YFC teachings.The following Youth Camp, Youth Camp Training, and Regular Assemblies

(chapter for commbased, club meeting for highschool, and prayer assemblies for campus) will be handled by:

Community Based – chapterheads Higschool – VP on Internal Affairs, and EVP of highschool Campus – VP EvangelizationThe implementation of the 3 year pastoral formation track will be handled by: Community Based – Cluster heads Highschool Based - Club President or Senior Sister Campus Based - EVP – 3-Year Pastoral Formation Track, HLT

3. Simultaneous with Regularized Activities. The implementation of the 3-year PFO will be simultaneous with the:

Chapter Assembly – for community based; Club Meetings – for highschool based; Prayer Assemblies – for campus based

Only those who have not yet attended a particular 3-year PFO will attend such. The rest will push through with the regular activities.

4. Area of Focus. Although the Pastoral Planning will involve both the youth head and Couple Coordinators, one should keep in mind that there are different planning considerations or area of focus for different levels

12


FOR COMMUNITY BASEDLevel Area of Focus Details

Chapter Members Monitors each member of the chapter and see who among them has attended a particular PFO track and who has not

Cluster PFO Track Makes sure that the PFO tracks are scheduled, prepared for and conducted.

Note: because of the different area of focus, both must work hand in hand to ensure that the PFO tracks are carried out to all the members.

B. SPECIFIC PLANNING CONSIDERATION FOR THE AREA1. On the 1st implementation of the new PFO, all the members of

the chapter will attend the said PFO

13


2. Take note of the members usual activities every month*, considering: Week 1 Chapter Collective HouseholdWeek 2Week 3 Chapter Assembly and PFOWeek 4Week 5 Fellowship*NOTE: This division of activities per week is only applicable for community based

3. If a member fails to attend a particular PFO, the youth head assigned to monitor the pastoral growth of each member through the formation track will ensure that he/she attends the next time said PFO becomes available. The particular youth head has an option (with the approval of his/her Immediate Head) can ask the member to attend the said PFO in another cluster/school/campus, if it the PFO is being conducted there.

C. SPECIFIC PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS1. The first 5 Pastoral Formation Tracks are conducted subsequently

(one after the other), to wit:YOUTH CAMP - entry pointCOVENANT ORIENTATION - within 3 months after the Youth CampFAMILY CULTURE - 3 months after the Covenant OrientationYOUTH POWER - 3 months after the Family CultureDISCOVERY CAMP - at least 1 year after the Youth Camp

2. The rest of the PFO tracks can be done in no particular order as long as it is conducted within the year it is suppose to be conducted, to wit:

YEAR 2 – PARENT’S HONORING NIGHT, STAKE FOR THE NATION, 100% FREEYEAR 3 – VOCATION RECOLLECTION, BEST WEEKEND, CHURCH AND

SACRAMENTS, YOUTH ADVOCATE

D. WORKSHOP PROPERObjective: to experience firsthand a Pastoral Planning
