Attendance in church pews has bounced back since COVID-19 pandemic lows. And many of these attendees are young worshippers, looking for religious community.
Today, church researchers and writers join us to help us understand why so many people are coming back to church.
Plus, are nuns having a moment? It certainly seems like it!
The Catholic Church is seeing an increase in interest in religious life, specifically the lives of religious sisters. We hear from the Global Sisters Report and hear what’s attracted so many people to the lives of the sisters.
