Despite widespread discussion about preaching in literature and church life, little empirical research has assessed the state of Catholic preaching, especially in its role in discipling young people. This listener study surveyed 651 Catholic high school students to determine what makes for effective connection with them. Focus groups, clergy interviews, observational research, and literature review further developed that knowledge. Statistical analysis upended certain widely held assumptions. Regular Mass attendees rated the person of their preacher highly. Little correlation between the person of the preacher and the listener's assessment of the homily suggests that growth in homiletic competence is skill-based.
