Young Adult Ministry Mission: Diocese of Richmond

Young adulthood is a passage of life when new decisions are made, paths are taken and a place is established in one's community. Young adult ministry is for those in their late teens, twenties and thirties (singles or young families), with varied professions and goals. It provides an opportunity to share friendship, fellowship and faith with other Catholic Christians.

Young adult ministry encourages people to interact among themselves, with the parish and beyond. A mark of the ministry is multi-cultural hospitality; everyone is welcome.

The ministry is organized by young adults with the support of parish staff, and provides a forum for spiritual, service, educational, and social activities. All are invited to join the fellowship by asking parishes for the ministry and for a local young adult contact.
