Do you find initiation ministry with those in their late teens, twenties, and thirties inspiring? Frustrating? Probably a bit of both. Let's explore together the challenges and opportunities and how young adults can actually enliven and renew the way we implement the RCIA
Michelle Miller has been involved in initiation ministry and ministry with young adults for over 18 years at the parish, university, and national level, namely with the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops and the U.S. National Catholic Young Adult Ministry Association.
