This article presents research results on young Catholics organized in the Youth Pastoral of the Popular Environment -PJMP.It is a pastoral marked by the militant condition of its members, inserted in the tradition of the Brazilian Catholic Left that arose from the fi rst half of the 1960s.We found that this pastoral care was marked in a remarkable way by the Puebla Conference, which took place in the year of 1979.We present the reception of the fi nal text of this Conference by these young people in the context of the preferential option for young people and the preferential option for the poor.Our research covered the period between the mid-1980s and 1990s in Minas Gerais.
