World Youth Day at Home

Will Our Kids Have Faith?
Several of our dioceses have picked up Cincinnati’s Will Our Kids Have Faith? presentation program and are conducting them in their own dioceses. This high-impact presentation uses the NSYR to convey to parents and parishes the obstacles in the way of their kids’ faith, and the urgency to take action.
