Young Adults - the Church is alive and you are Our future
-
-
We believe that every young adult is a unique and unrepeatable physical manifestation of God’s love whose mission is to go out into the world and share that love in a unique and unrepeatable way. Stemming from John 1:29, “Behold the Lamb of God,” our mission is to create opportunities for the gospel to impact the lives of young adults in profound ways and build a community to walk the journey together.
Whether you are looking for a Church or spiritual director, a job or roommate, opportunities to meet other young people, or want to begin a ministry yourself. We are grassroots in nature, helping to serve the young adult community. With a vibrant, diverse, and growing young adult community, the Archdiocese attests to the fact that the Church is young and alive and that you are the future of the Church.“The Church needs you, your enthusiasm, your creativity and the joy that is so characteristic of you!” ~ Pope Francis

Start a Young Adult Ministry in your Parish
Young adult ministry is not a one-size-fits-all approach and often begins with volunteers. With that in mind, we would like to mentor individuals as they begin the process of establishing a ministry in their parish or region.
Here are a few things for the minister to consider:
- Who is in your parish? (Young singles, young married couples, young families, college students, etc.)
- Who are you? (No ministry will succeed if it doesn’t include an authentic representation of yourself.)
- What do the people in your parish need?
- What dreams do you have for this ministry?
It is our hope that these questions will guide your discernment as you begin this ministry. Please feel free to reach out to our office. We would love the opportunity to discern these questions with you and to walk with you on this journey.
