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
