Young Adult Catholics: Religion in the Culture of Choice
Young Adult Catholics: Religion in the Culture of Choice

U.S. Catholicism is young. Forty percent of the adult Catholic population are in their 20s and 30s. Despite sizeable numbers, young adults generally have a tenuous connection with their Catholicism. About eight percent of the large population, for example, is in church every Sunday. Most young adult Catholics like being Catholic but still lack connections with their parishes and their church’s sacramental life. A brilliant study on young adult American Catholics conducted by a four-member research team serves as the basis of this FADICA exchange. The conversation provides timely insights into what works and does not work in pastoral outreach to the young adult population.
