We have seen this in our own Catholic Church in Croton; more young people. I facilitate OCIA (the acronym for learning about Catholicism and receiving the sacraments) and right now we have three young women – 20, 21 and 24 – who are entering the Church. And we have a half dozen teenagers who are completing their sacraments. I was at the Rite of Election at St Patrick’s last Sunday. It is a ceremony for “Catechumens” who will be baptized and then receive the Eucharist and Confirmation at the Easter Vigil. There were about 2,000 very happy and excited people at the Cathedral – 500 catechumens and their supporters. Marvelous!

Yes it certainly is evident at several of the local Catholic churches—as well as at a few of the more traditional” and/or “liturgically inclined” Protestant denominations. A neighbor’s son summed it up in a fascinating way: “School makes you think there is no God but deep down, we know that’s a lie”.
