Interpretations of ICYM

• ‘Indian’ means a person of Indian nationality. The jurisdiction of ICYM shall extend to the whole of the Indian union, divided into regions and dioceses as determined by the governing body.
• ‘Catholic’ means the baptized persons of the Catholic Church. It also means “universal”, in the sense of “according to the totality” or “in keeping with the whole” meaning “broad minded”, “all embracing”.(Cfr. Catechism of the Catholic Church Nos. 830 – 831)
• ‘Youth’ means a young person (male and female) between 18 and 30 years. The beneficiaries shall be all Catholic Youth, no one excluded (Cfr. Synod on Youth 2018)
• ‘Movement’ means a group of people, who share the same beliefs, visions, or aims; are united by the inspiration & spirituality of a leader; and have the responsibility to pass on the torch to others. In our context, it works as an animating organisation networking with Parishes via Regions and Dioceses.
