WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING ABOUT "WILL OUR KIDS HAVE FAITH?"

 

“This information needs to be in the hands of parents.  They love their children and want the best for them.  We now have current research that tells us what does and doesn’t work when    trying to pass on our Catholic faith to our teenagers. Working with parents and supporting their efforts to live their faith in their families is vitally important for families and the Church. Parents, parish leaders, religious educators and youth ministry leaders will all reap huge benefits from this presentation!”

- Libby Peterson, Coordinator of Youth Ministry

Holy Angels Catholic Church, Bainbridge

 

“Every Catholic family, parish and school needs to join the ongoing     conversation about this study and its compelling implications for people at all  levels of faith formation.  We have cause for dismay, but also for hope.  An understanding of both—and the sooner the better—is absolutely vital to the  future of our Church and the success of our kids.  These presentations are a great forum to begin these discussions and to help our children grow in our Catholic faith.”                                                    

- Danny O’Brien, Youth Minister

Church of St. Clarence, North Olmsted 

“After listening to the talk, I was encouraged to hear that our teenagers are listening to us and largely following in our parental footsteps, which caused me to pause and examine my own example. How am I demonstrating Catholicism as a way of life and not just another checklist commitment?  And further, how often does my family take time to talk about our faith and its daily impact in our lives?  As I continue to challenge my family and friends with these questions, the preliminary answers have led to some wonderful table conversations in our home. Thank you for providing the  information to spark further communication with our teens and families.”


—Angela Brockman, parent of three boys, 16, 13 and 10 years, Incarnation Parish
