Rooted in connecting young adults to Jesus and the Church, this ministry seeks out ways to live the Church’s mission in communion with peers in an engaging approach.
Jeremiah 1:7 “But the Lord answered me, Do not say, ‘I am too young.’ To whomever I send you, you shall go; whatever I command you, you shall speak.”

Young adults are persons in their late teens, twenties, and thirties who represent diverse cultural, racial, ethnic, educational, vocational, social, political, and spiritual backgrounds. They are college students, workers, and professionals; they are persons in military service; they are single, married, divorced, or widowed; they are with or without children; they are newcomers in search of a better life.
From the USCCB's Sons and Daughters of Light.
The needs and gifts of young adults are varied. Ministry requires a variety of strategies and approaches that match the needs and gifts of parish and school communities. Important themes need to be emphasized are:
Child & Youth Protection
Our promise to protect, our pledge to heal.
