Religion

I lot of my HS kids seem very religious. Mostly non-Catholic though. There's probably 50 kids that meet weekly for Bible club in the room across the hall from me, and that's just touching the surface of the number of kids that often wear Christian themed clothing.

I've been seeing a lot of posts on my social media of a somewhat resurgence of young adults converting to Catholicism. As someone who feels my wanting to maybe start OCIA someday (admittingly kinda wish-washy on commitment), I was wondering if others of the faith are noticing this?

I've seen some stories on it. Not sure how much is perception/media and how much is reality. Hope it's tangible!

My friend takes pictures for events/weddings. She did the Easter Vigil for a parish in Fargo and they had like 30 adult confirmations and several adult baptisms. So that's nice to see.

The Real Religious ‘Renewal’ Happening in Gen Z

Some pastors and politicians claim that a Christian revival is afoot among young Americans. Nationwide data tell a different story.

This is only one small observation, but at my Catholic Church for Easter this year, they had to keep the doors open with people standing outside. Never seen anything like it before at our Parish.

I was watching a YouTube video (I think Ascension Presents), and the priest said when you're trying to decide if Catholicism is right for you, google the following questions... who started the Lutheran church, who started the baptist church, who started...etc. Then finally google who started the Catholic church... felt like one heck of a nice drop. To me at least.

Most people we've ever had at our Easter service this year ("Protestant") in my 7 years as pastor of this current church. And those who were new seemed hungry and open to the Gospel of Jesus. There is without question a cultural move happening. Talked with my buddies in ministry and they experienced the same this Easter
