The Eucharistic Youth Movement (EYM) is an international Catholic educational movement oriented to youth, originated in 1915 in France as the Eucharistic Crusade,[1] following the call of the International Eucharistic Congress of Lourdes to form "a great Eucharistic league of children".[2] It began its pedagogical renewal in 1962, calling itself the Eucharistic Youth Movement. It is the youth branch of the Pope's Worldwide Prayer Network.[3]
This movement is made up of young people from 5 to 25 years of age and is present in more than 59 countries. It finds its roots in the Pope's Worldwide Prayer Network (recreation of Apostleship of Prayer)[4] and is inspired by the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius.[5]
