DATING FOR YOUNG CATHOLICS

Dating For Young Catholics offers much practical advice to today's teen agers. Monsignor Kelly, the Director of the Family Life Bureau of the Archdiocese of New York, sees dating as a ""remote preparation for marriage"". Consequently, too early dating can only lead to too early marriage with all its resultant problems. Couples, he thinks, should be out in a group with the evening's entertainment planned well in advance. He offers dozens of suggestions for having fun with a crowd. This book touches on all teen age problems -- necking, petting, drinking, driving, smoking, and going steady. It will prove helpful to parents, teachers, priests and counselors -- but especially to the young Catholics for whom it's primarily intended.
