What can we do to help keep our kids Catholic during the college years? | Living Lit

Fr. John Rutten stops in to chat about a common question many parents of teens and college aged kids have. How can we keep kids Catholic in college, and beyond? What conversations can we have with them to keep them on track to practice their faith, and most importantly take Jesus along with them on the journey? What is a Newman Center, and why they should check it out? Fr. John also shares some of his life story. How he overcame addiction and was led to priesthood.

*Sioux Falls city has a Newman club, not an actual Newman building.
