Summary/Abstract: The Church was always preoccupied by the importance of the mission with the young people. This contact starts in the ecclesial environment and issu stained by the religious education in school, while the family becomes the common denominator of these two promoting directions of life into Christ. The religious education, in Church or school, brings more value to the consciousness of the young people preoccupied with spirituality and a balanced life. Christ is their model, a model that is pretty relative in the new mediatic culture that centresthe life outside the Life. Rich in dogmatic content, the missionary teaching of the Church tries to use the new and modern methods of a communicative education according to the understanding and the interest of the new generations of young people. The new mediatic agora may be a missionary environment, available for aspiritual teaching and not for a publicist controversy where religion is treated asa secular ethics. Our young people could have important lessons to learn if the Church, through its mission, would preach the benchmarks of a Christian life more than an empty morality lacking the perspective.
