How to support faith formation beyond graduation
This is an important time for graduating seniors. Those planning to attend college are receiving acceptance letters and choosing a school. Others are considering employment options or maybe even a "gap year" in a service program. Whatever young adults are doing after graduation, we know that remaining connected to a faith community is vital to their ongoing faith formation as they encounter ongoing transition, discernment about vocation, and questions of identity and calling. This edition of the News for Youth Ministry is devoted to making those connections. And we hope you will contact us with names of graduates in your church, so that we can help them find a young adult or campus ministry wherever they are headed.
