BEING? OR
BECOMING?
The Current Situation
Here are a few sobering statistics on Catholic young adults in the Millennial
Generation:
• Only 40 percent of self-identified Catholic young adults are certain
that you can have a personal relationship with God.
• Sixty-four percent of Catholic Millennials attend Mass a few times a
year or less.
• Only 15 percent of Millennial Catholics go to Mass regularly.
BEING? OR BECOMING?
IS GREATLY INFLUENCED
BY THE
DIGITAL CULTURE.
HOW THEN SHALL A CATHOLIC YOUTH LOOK AT DIGITAL CULTURE?
In viewing social media as a space not only for connections but ultimately
for relationships, a proper “examination of conscience” regarding our
presence on social media should include three vital relationships:
with God, our neighbour, and the environment around us.
