""We're seeing baptisms on college campuses along with 'a hunger for reverence' and 'a return to Christianity,' Evie magazine gloated.""
""Earlier in April, St. Isaac Jogues Catholic Parish in the Chicago suburbs said converts had risen by 124 percent since last year.""
""The Archdiocese of Boston has welcomed almost 700 new Catholics since 2022, including many of them young people, leaders tell CBS News.""
""True revival would be hard to miss, says Ryan Burge, a demographer and the author of The Nones and The Vanishing Church.""
Young adults are returning to church, with increased attendance reported in various locations, including St. Joseph's Church and Ohio State University. Baptisms and Bible sales are rising, and some parishes have seen significant increases in converts. Despite claims of a revival, empirical evidence for a sustained increase in religious participation among Gen Z is lacking. Research indicates that while young adults are seeking faith, overall church attendance remains low, suggesting that any revival may be modest and not widespread.
