The Kerala Catholic Youth Movement (KCYM) is an organization for the Catholic youth from three rites (Latin Church, Syro-Malabar Church and Syro-Malankara Church) of Christian community of Kerala in India.[1] The patron saint of Kerala Catholic Youth Movement is St. Thomas More.
KCYM is the official state and regional organization under the auspices of the KCBC Kerala Catholic Bishops' Council. It is affiliated to the National Youth Body the "Indian Catholic Youth Movement" (ICYM). It consists of youngsters between the age group of 15–35 years who subscribe to Catholic values and principles, but beneficiaries include the youth of other religions. The main aim of KCYM is "The Integral Development of The Catholic Youth and The Total Liberation of Human Society in accordance with the Christian values". It is to coordinate and empower the human potentials of youth based on the Gospel values, to make them effective agents of change in the socio-religious-political-economic and cultural reality of India, especially of Kerala through National integration. It also aims at making the youth committed to the serving mission of the Church to the least, last and the lost.
KCYM is a federation of 32 diocesan youth movements of Kerala. Each affiliated diocesan movement has equal rights in the federation. Youth between the age of 15–35 are eligible for membership. Each diocese has its own structure in the Parish, Forane and Diocesan level.
Today, KCYM has a membership strength of 342,034 young people making it one of the influential organizations in the region.
