SUGGESTION: Young Catholic America: Emerging Adults In, Out of, and Gone from the Church by Christia
I believe Smith is an Evangelical, but the topic is certainly Catholic and of wide interest to Catholic clergy, catechists, etc. This volume comes from Oxford University Press.

The Secular Revolution: Power, Interests, and Conflict in the Secularization of American Public Life
