ECYD is an international Catholic association of adolescents
who make a pledge of friendship with Christ and with each other,
living a Christian lifestyle according to the charism of Regnum Christi.

“To live ECYD is to experience a charism that is then incarnated in a lifestyle and mission.
It is the joy that springs forth in the adolescents
when they discover that they are loved and called by Jesus Christ;
it is the initiative and creativity enkindled inside
when they know they are engaged in a great mission in the light of eternity;
it is what happens within
when they understand that an authentic and attractive Christianity can be lived,
thus leaving a deep imprint in today’s world;
it is the strength given by being part of a group of friends
who share the same ideals, and above all their faith.”
