John Huynh, Director of Social Justice for the Diocese of Des Moines and Catholic Charities, discusses the growing number of young people entering the Catholic Church and what is driving this unexpected trend. He reflects on how digital life, social media, and cultural fragmentation have created both connection and deep loneliness among young adults.
John explains that beneath the noise of modern technology, many young people are searching for meaning, identity, and authentic relationship. He highlights how the Church offers a countercultural vision of human dignity rooted in being known and loved by God.
The conversation also provides practical guidance for families on how to keep children grounded in faith during summer through Mass attendance, service opportunities, and intentional family time.
