YOUCAT The YOUCAT Foundation is a subsidi- ary of ACN. YOUCAT provides a broad portfolio of media that contributes to the re-evangelisation and deepening of faith among young Catholics. The offer ranges from catechism editions and attractively designed Bible editions to digital offers, including teaching materials, apps and social media channels. So far, 60 translations of YOUCAT, the Catholic Church’s youth catechism, have been published, with a further 20 in the pipeline. A total of 9 million books from the YOUCAT series have now been sold. The YOUCAT Foundation has ob- served a significant rise in interest in its materials for catechesis and
faith formation. The reasons for this include the expanded reach of social media channels, a broader selection of additional materials in various languages and the growing demand for the books. The YOUCAT Foundation can look back on another successful year in 2024. As in the previous year, the YOUCAT Youth Catechism and YOUCAT for Kids were once again global best- sellers during the reporting year. With the YOUCAT Bible (e.g. in Vietnam, China and Ukraine) and the YOU- CAT Confession Book (e.g. in Korea, Bulgaria and Croatia), two important works were also distributed in coun- tries that had not previously pub- lished YOUCAT media. The foundation also concluded a total of 16 new
contracts with 11 different publishing partners. More than 500,000 people were reached via books and digital channels in 2024.
