Sharing the Faith with Jr. High Preteens w/ Randy Adams and Cindy Martin
Manage episode 403114576 series 1233128
A 2018 study on young adults leaving the Catholic Church conducted by St. Mary’s Press found people stopped identifying as Catholics at a median age of 13, long before they ceased attending a parish. That’s around the 7th or 8th grade.
So today, I’m going to be talking with Randy Adams, associate director in the Office of Adolescent Catechesis and Evangelization, and Cindy Martin, who is the Jr. High Youth Minister at St. Laurence Catholic Church in Sugar Land, to find out what we are doing as a diocese and in our parishes to address this situation.
Even if you don’t have Jr. High-aged children in your home or in your family right now, we encourage you to listen to this episode, because we are talking about the future of the Catholic Church in the United States, and there are great insights in this discussion that we can all use in our interactions with young Catholics.
