In the 2019 Encyclical Christus Vivit, Pope Francis writes both about and directly to young people. This magisterial document has far-reaching implications for ministry involving young people, and Dr. Lamont participated in creating a nearly 90-page study guide on 10 major themes of Christus Vivit. As part of her work with the USCCB National Advisory Team on Young Adult Ministry, she worked with the National Federation for Catholic Youth Ministry (NFCYM) to assist in the development and production of Christus Vivit: Pathway to Accompaniment Study Guide by serving on the planning, editorial, and writing teams. 

The Study Guide will assist ministry leaders and the young people they serve to explore and apply the document in practical ways.
