Catholic and Protestant youth are about equally divided, with 45 percent being Catholic and 49 percent being Protestant. There are a small number of Jewish youth, and those affiliated with other religions. Children follow the religious affiliation of their parents or guardian. They attend services and receive instruction in that religious faith. Girls and Boys Town holds Protestant and Catholic services in the Village.
Jewish youths attend services and receive religious instruction at a nearby synagogue.
At Girls and Boys Town sites across America, youth attend local churches. The Village of Boys Town has a full-time religious staff that includes Catholic and Protestant chaplains. The decision is a combined one, involving Girls and Boys Town personnel, the agency or court who made the referral, the child, and the child's parent or legal guardian. In every case the welfare of the boy or girl determines the decision. These youth are always welcomed.
