what can my parish do to reach the millennial generation?

Through the Millennial Church Conference, we want to equip Catholic leaders across dioceses, parishes, and organizations to effectively engage the current young adult generation.

This unique, engaging, and refreshing day-long conference will empower clergy, Church staffs, and lay leaders to reach out to Millennial adults in simple, practical, and personal ways. 

The statistics are staggering.

80% of Millennials who were raised Catholic stop practicing their faith by the age of 23.

 41% believe religion is very important and of those people 52% are absolutely certain God exists.

15% of Millennial Catholics attend mass on a weekly basis.

HELPING CATHOLIC LEADERS REACH YOUNG ADULTS

"As a priest who is also a Millennial, I am aware that many of my peers are living without any real connection to Jesus and the Church. This conference shines needed light on a key area of ministry, and provides practical tools to reach a generation that has much to offer the entire Church." | Fr. Brad Sjoquist, Marquette, MI

The Millennial Church Conference is a response of a few Catholic young adult ministers wanting to equip more Catholic leaders in dioceses, parishes, and organizations to engage the Millennial generation. 

We help leaders in parishes and dioceses effectively create communities that understand, empower, and connect with young adults. Nearly every leader in the parish has a role to play in this vision and we provide principles, language, and vision for how every member of the parish or diocese can work to reach the next generation.

"This conference was incredible opportunity to dive more deeply into what it means to have a church that actively reaches out to Millenials in a way that is meaningful and engaging to who they are and where they are in their life. It was joyful, hopeful, prayerful, and a really positive moment for our staff to grow in our desires to truly reach each and every one of our parishioners with the Gospel."  |  Jason Theobald, Youth Minister
