Going Deeper into Gender and Faith: Practical Applications for Catholic Ministry

Increasingly, youth ministers are being invited into the lives of young people navigating gender identity questions and emerging gender identity labels. Too often, many feel ill-equipped to engage with young people, stay silent, or reactively respond.
