Eucharistic Youth Movement

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]
