Seeking to identify “points of hopefulness,” archdiocesan leaders met at the New York Catholic Center in Manhattan for a gathering called “Conversation About Young Catholics Leaving the Church.”
At the Feb. 26 evening meeting, John M. Vitek, president and chief executive officer of Saint Mary’s Press, gave a presentation on the findings of a study on youth and young adult Catholics who have left the Church. The presentation identified underlying dynamics that lead to disaffiliation, and it described the factors that reinforce the dynamics.
