Abstract

The search for meaning through spirituality often guides how individuals view themselves and the world, shaping values and decisions in daily life. At the same time, sexual perceptions play an important role in personal identity, and their interaction with spirituality reveals both harmony and conflict in student experiences. The inquiry gathered responses from college students through a structured survey, ensuring representation from all academic departments, which summarized student views and identified meaningful connections between spirituality and sexuality. The findings show that college students with stronger reflective and meaning-oriented capacities tend to demonstrate higher awareness of sexual matters, particularly in areas related to identity and health. This connection highlights the role of inner awareness in shaping informed and respectful views on sexuality. These results suggest that fostering reflective awareness among college students may support healthier and more informed understandings of sexuality across diverse contexts.

Abstract

Many young Catholics actively participate in religious practices, yet their understanding of the deeper meaning of these actions often remains limited. This disconnects between spiritual practice and doctrinal knowledge highlights the importance of strengthening catechetical formation. Strengthening catechetical formation among college students is vital for nurturing deeper spiritual growth, moral integrity, and a stronger sense of belonging within the Church. The research gathered data from college students using a structured questionnaire, with respondents drawn proportionally from different academic departments. The findings reveal that college students show strong awareness of Catholic teachings, especially in daily life and moral actions, but their understanding remains largely basic in areas related to belief, worship, and faith identity. This gap suggests that while faith is recognized and practiced, deeper comprehension of its meaning requires further formation. The results emphasize the importance of strengthening catechetical formation among college students to bridge the gap between awareness and understanding of the basic teachings of the Catechism.
