Young Adult Catholics: Why Questions Are Better Than Answers
The Franciscan School of Theology hosts a variety of lectures from world-class theologians across the globe in this unique series.
A growing number of studies are examining Catholic young adults and they are all reporting the same results: young adults are leaving in droves. However, when these studies are examined more closely, they offer a more interesting story than the “leaving in droves” narrative provides. This talk will explore the ways people are studying young adults, lift up important takeaways from these studies, and distill a set of questions to craft a ministry for Catholic millennials and iGens.
