Young Adult Ministry

 In 1996, the U.S. Catholic Bishops wrote a letter to all Catholic Young Adults in which they stated:

We know that your talents, and those of other young adults, can enrich the Church and can be a sign of God’s presence in society. We invite you to share them with us and to become part of a welcoming community for other young adults as well. Not too long ago our Holy Father spoke of your importance to the life of the Church: “The Church needs your energies, your enthusiasm, your ideals, in order to make the Gospel of life penetrate the fabric of society, transforming people’s hearts and the structures of society in order to create a civilization of true justice and love.”

It is with this idea in mind that we will be starting a YAM (Young Adult Ministry) at St. Alphonsus. YAM is for anyone between the ages of 21-39 who is looking to connect with others in a spiritual or social network. Over the next year, we will be holding different events in which we can share our faith and have fun. Keep an eye out in the bulletin for our different events. Interested in helping plan these events? Join the leadership team! Contact A.J. at 913.4415 or email at setteraj@gmail.com for more information.
