Young Adult Ministry
In the model of Christ, the Good Shepherd, this is the Church's pastoral care and accompaniment of men and women in their late teens, twenties, and thirties through community, evangelization and catechesis, prayer and spirituality, leadership development, and engagement in the social mission of the Gospel.
ā
Through intentional pastoral ministry with young adults, "The Church can offer young adults a vision of life based on faith that calls each of them to holiness, community, and service" (Sons and Daughters of the Light). "In this way, by learning from one another, we can better reflect that wonderful multifaceted reality that Christ's Church is meant to be." (Christus Vivit).

Our Mission
Our YAMily strives to deepen our everyday relationship with Jesus Christ through prayer, the Sacraments, ministry, and friendships rooted in the Catholic faith. As young adults desiring holiness and discerning life’s vocation, we hold fast to the Church’s teaching by proclaiming the Good News of the Lord and sharing God’s love to all those we encounter.
02
What We Do
Young Adult Ministry serves the spiritual needs of young adult Catholics (ages 18-39), including those returning to the Church and those discerning the faith. YAM provides opportunities to engage in faith-sharing, fellowship, and community service, enhancing one’s growth and relationship with Jesus Christ.
