In this episode of Speaking of Faith, host Amber Walling welcomes Kelli Kleinschnitz, Director of Faith Formation, and Father Erik Lundgren, Pastor of three parishes within the Holy Saints ACC. Together, they discuss innovative efforts to reconnect with lapsed Catholics, offer a deeper look into their approach which included the use of technology to gather rapid feedback through a survey called Path.
Responses for the survey were designed to better understand the faith journeys of former churchgoers and to create opportunities for dialogue, healing and a possible return to the church community.
The conversation also explores re-engagement strategies, including an upcoming special event featuring Matt Birk, former Minnesota Viking and Super Bowl champion, who will share his story of rediscovering purpose, faith, and his calling in today’s world.
