A WAKE-UP CALL FOR CATHOLICS

Parents, Catholic schools and parishes have every reason to worry that our young people are drifting away from the Church. In a major national study it was discovered that, despite all the wonderful programs, initiatives and guidance that parishes and schools provide, Catholic teenagers consistently scored lower on most measures of religiosity — 5 to 25 percentage points lower than their conservative, mainline, and black Protestant peers.

 

 

WHO SHOULD ATTEND AND WHY

 

  • Parents will be motivated to take action to form the faith of their kids.
  • Parish Staffs will consider shared perspectives on the challenges, and develop collaborative responses.
  • Schools will rally around their central mission of passing on the Catholic faith.
  • Parish Clusters will learn what's working and what's not in youth faith formation and work together to meet the challenges.
