Totally Catholic Youth Ministers Lounge

Are you in youth ministry and you've had it with crazed parents? Rollin' your eyes at the pastoral council? Tired of administration work? Love youth? Love the Church? Appalled at parish politics? Looking for some good games? For a creative ways to teach a lesson for Religious Ed? Just need a place to veg out and say "phew! Someone outside of the parish to talk to!"? Grab y'r Starbucks, turn the computer away from the staff's eyes, grab a seat on a donated dusty couch and let it all go.

Catholic Stats

I've been waiting for something like this to be published. There's lots of stuff from the Barna Group, but as I may have mentioned before, much of their research is geared not only towards Protestants, but have a way of asking questions that Catholic kids may just not get (i.e. identifying themselves as "saved" or "not saved")

NFCYM has done an analysis of Catholic kids and their parents. I'm definately interested in these things, but nothing replaces sitting and listening to the kids you minister to.

Has anyone gotten a copy of it yet? Can you give us any spoilers?
