Cast Out Into the Deep: Attracting Young People to the Church

Cast Out into the Deep offers a heartfelt exploration of ways to attract young people into the Catholic Church. Divided into three parts, the first includes the views of just under 100 people--including Fr Peter McVerry, Alice Taylor. Eamonn Dunphy. Patsy McGarry Mary Kenny. Fr Brian D'Arcy. Bishop Willie Walsh and Cardinal Desmond Connell--on how the church needs to change if it is to be more attractive to youth. Part 2 summarizes the responses in the form of 95 Theses, or ideas. which were subsequently assessed and graded by almost 500 students. The results of this comprehensive survey and the conclusions drawn are presented in Part 5.
