Young Adult Ministry
-
The Young Adult Ministry serves our parishioners in their 20s and 30s. In a society which often times forces a seemingly ongoing flux for young professionals in their personal and work life, our young adult ministry hopes to further establish a community of faith that encourages radical discipleship for Jesus through fellowship, prayer, and service. Below are the different ways parishioners can get involved with our ministry.
-
Spiritual formation
Adoration, Confession, and Praise & Praise Worship
Four times a year, the young adult ministry sponsors an evening of Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament, Confession, and Praise & Worship. The next evening has yet to be scheduled.
Formation Series
Throughout the year, different series will be offered to grow our understanding of the faith in particular areas. The website will be updated periodically as different series are scheduled. If you have a particular idea or desire to begin a new series, please contact Fr. Andrew Gutierrez. -
Connect Groups
Young adults form their own groups of 4-10 people who want to grow in faith together. They meet and work with Fr. Andrew to create a unique and personal format to accommodate their specific scheduling demands, spiritual desires, and particular demographic. These can be groups of men-only, women-only, or mixed and can meet weekly, biweekly, or monthly. The possibilities are endless! If you are interested in starting a Connect Group or joining one, please contact Fr. Andrew Gutierrez.
Below are all the Connect Groups currently meeting:Men's Connect Group
This Connect Group is specifically for young adult men who seek brotherhood in their faith lives. Through fraternity and prayer, these men strive for holiness in their daily lives. The group meets every other Wednesday from 7:00-8:00pm. For more information, contact Jeff Vitenas (jeffvitenas @ gmail.com).
Women's Brunch
This group has a monthly Saturday brunch where women are able to regularly find support, inspiration, and growth for their faith. For more information, contact Kristine Cerniglia (kmcernig @ gmail.com). -
Community
Monthly Happy Hour
Every first Thursday of the month (excluding Advent and Lent) at 5:30pm, join our young adults and Fr. Andrew at Winston's Pub & Patio to talk casually, get to know other young adults in the parish, have a drink, and just relax.

Service opportunites
Homebound Parishioner Visits
Groups of two or three young adults are paired with a specific homebound parishioner to visit regularly (normally every other month). This allows for service opportunities that are able to be scheduled around the young adult's own calendar and coordinated with the homebound parishioner. Our homebound parishioners often experience deep loneliness and long for community. These visits are a corporal work of mercy rooted in Jesus' command in Matthew 25 to visit the sick.
