Father Leo discusses why some children leave the Catholic Church despite attending CCD or Catholic schools, and how religious education can better support lasting faith. Reflecting on a social media post about former CCD students, he questions whether worksheets and sacrament preparation alone help children understand why Catholics believe. He recommends family-based catechesis that involves parents, welcomes questions, and introduces Catholic apologetics. He also encourages learning Scripture and using the Catechism as a practical resource for finding answers. Service projects, pilgrimages, and shared experiences offer additional ways to put faith into practice beyond the classroom. He concludes by presenting a World Youth Day 2027 pilgrimage to South Korea as an opportunity for families to learn and grow together.
