The study sought to determine the correlation between the cognitive and affective attitudes of Catholic youth toward the Catholic Church and their behavioral intention to support the Church's social action in the future. To support the study, related literature and studies were reviewed. The study used a descriptive correlational research design. 400 youth were taken as respondents of the study. To gather the data, validated questionnaires were used, and the data were analyzed using statistical tools such as Pearson's r and the Weighted mean. The study found that Catholic youth have very positive cognitive and affective attitudes toward the Catholic Church, and their behavioral intention to help the Church is also very high. Furthermore, there is a significant correlation between the Catholic Youth’s cognitive and affective attitudes and their behavioral intention to engage in future social action for the Catholic Church.
