Our Goal
- To connect young adults with Jesus Christ through spiritual formation/direction, religious education/formation, and vocational discernment.
- To connect young adults to the Church through evangelizing outreach, formation of the faith community, and pastoral care.
- To connect young adults with the mission of the Church in the world through forming a Christian conscience, educating and developing leaders for the present and future.
- To connect young adults with a peer community through developing peer leadership and identifying a young adult team for the purpose of forming faith communities of peers.
Challenges:
- Young adults have been captivated by the consumerism and materialism of the society in which they grew up and have became apathetic and cynical.
- Young adulthood is sometimes a world of boredom, disillusionment, and indifference to the Church.
- Young adults need a non-threatening place where they can freely express their questions, doubts, and even disagreements with the Church and where the teachings of the Church can be clearly articulated and related to their experience.
- Young adults make some of the most important decisions in their lives about their Christian vocation, their career, and their choice of spouse.
How to Join
