In this way, students will be oriented to the service of another person. Both the social nature of man and the Christian vocation to holiness requires apostolic commitment in various areas of social life. The need for volunteers is ordered by Christ, who speaks of love and help others, as well as their need to help other people. Education in the ministry for the good of others are made primarily in family, school , parish and school catechetical and religious and social groups. Preparing children and youth social apostolate is to convince students that the entire Christian life is the social dimension, which should form the foundation of the gospel. Education for volunteerism inspired by the Gospel spirit should be based primarily on the development of what is in the human being. The educational activities of the Church should respond to the interest in the affairs of aid, focus on Christ and take all measures to prayerful youth.
