I’ve been working with young teens in the church for about 25 years. These days, it feels as if I spent about 22 or 23 of those years building my knowledge, experience and expertise—and I’ve spent the last two or three of those years discovering what an expert I am not.

The youth ministry model that rocked my world during high school—not so many years ago, or at least it doesn’t feel like it—doesn’t work with Catholic youth these days. Teens in the Roman Catholic Church seem different, because they are, says Kris Walters, coordinator of youth ministry at Holy Trinity in Lenexa, Kansas. She credits a generational shift. There is “more of a thirst for the sacred and a search for meaning within that sacred,” said Walters.
