Archbishop Henning on Athletes and Keeping the Faith

"Much has been said recently about the rising number of people discovering or returning to the practice of the Catholic faith. I certainly have been experiencing that reality on the ground in parishes, schools, and on university campuses. In the years since the pandemic, we have seen a rising number of people seeking baptism, increased Sunday Mass attendance, and significant increases in seminary admissions. As I visit communities, there is also a kind of electricity in the air as people sense that God is at work in these developments. The most dramatic changes have been among the young, and I have spoken previously of these experiences in this column.

"Today, I would like to reflect on one of the interesting elements of this revival of faith.. . ."

In a recent commentary, Archbishop Richard G. Henning reflected on the number of 
student athletes being well represented among the young people engaging in the faith and on some of the related factors.
