from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Catholic Youth Welfare is a professional association for child and youth welfare in the Caritas Association .

history

The Catholic child welfare was established at the beginning of the 20th century at the instigation of the center member and prison chaplain Jakob Reeb (1842–1917). He worked in Landau (Palatinate) and Zweibrücken and recognized the plight of the young prisoners.

Reeb first founded the Catholic youth welfare association for the Palatinate in 1905. In 1910 the Catholic Youth Welfare Association of the Archdiocese of Munich and Freising was founded. The youth welfare associations for the other Bavarian dioceses followed immediately: Augsburg , Bamberg and Eichstätt in 1911 , and Regensburg, Passau and Würzburg in the following year 1912.
