dc.description.abstractccording to Kenya Bureau of Statistics, about 52% of Kenyan population is below the age of 25 years, majority of whom are below the age of 15 years of age. Most of the youth are still under the initial stage of formal education.' The common concept when one visits ICitale town is the impression of the many beautiful sign boards advertising different churches. E.g., Catholic Church Mitume Parish, the Church of the Restoration, Presbyterian Church of East Africa, Africa Inland Church, and the Winners Chapel. The general perception to any visitor would be an impression that Kitale has many Christians. This is true when one visits the Sunday schools, one will be surprised seeing them in their great numbers. This perception has easily tempted many pastors and contractors to built huge parish churches in anticipating the future with great hopes. Is this true? In carrying out my research, it became clear that the bigger population of serious Church goers are mainly old people. The youth attend Church services at a much earlier age, between 5-15 years. From the age of 16-22, it seems that their participation becomes lesser and lesser; they no longer become interested in religious activities. This long essay tries to examine what is actually causing all this mass exodus of young people from the Church especially from the Catholic Church. Does it mean that the Catholic Church is not able to offer what the youth are looking for? Or are the Young people only looking for reasons to justify why they do not go to Church?en_US
