Gen Z is flocking to church for community, faith and dates thanks to meetup groups such as ‘Pizza to Pews’ and ‘Holy Girl Walk’

Young men in their 20s and 30s are increasingly drawn to the Catholic Church as they seek truth, beauty and, yes, girlfriends.

Thousands of Christians flooded the National Mall on Sunday to attend Rededicate 250, an opportunity to publicly pray and worship in Washington alongside their fellow Americans ahead of the nation’s Semiquincentennial.

Generation Z is ditching the “spiritual but not religious” label for the pews of the Roman Catholic Church, fueling a conversion boom that experts say is driven by a desire for moral order, ancient tradition, and a rejection of modern secularism.

What started in New York as a viral Catholic meetup has spread to D.C. this past weekend. Influencers Anthony Gross and Kate Depetro began a movement called "Pizza to Pews," where young Catholics in NYC could connect for Mass, followed by a slice of pizza with peers who share the faith.

A new class of hip, young Catholic content creators is making a viral splash on social media, eagerly spreading the good news in an age of uncertainty, and making Catholicism cooler than ever

'Pizza to Pews' meetups drew 200 young adults by the third week, with some driving in from Long Island or from Boston

Kate DePetro & Anthony Gross didn’t intend to start a movement to make “the hottest club in New York City the Catholic Mass.”
