The only thing I'd add is that most of the folks I know who are working with children in these settings also find there's a big need to minister to the parents--usually through a process of reconciliation, as many of these parents are alienated or non-practicing Catholics.

Don't think I can add any more wisdom to what you have already put out there. It's an example of the "program to process" development in the sacramental life of the Church envisioned in the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults. It will take time and in the meantime, parish by parish, diocese by diocese, it will be messy. Staying focused on the fundamental purpose behind all these questions (forming disciples) will help determine the path for each child. Great overview, Nick.
