Young Adult Ministry

     
  Y.A.M. = Young Adult Ministry 
      


Our goal, from the USCCB, is to respond to Pope John Paul II’s call to a “new evangelization” by meeting the social and spiritual needs of local Catholic Young Adults in their late teens, 20s and 30s by connecting them with:

  • Christ
  • The Church
  • The Mission of the Church in the world
  • A Community of their peers     
     
In 2010 and 2011, we worked on building a community of peers through fellowship activities like our Fall Pitch-In and Game Night at the Rectory.  In 2012, we grew and expanded the ministry to better meet the needs of YAs in different stages in life by continuing our popular Theology on Tap Program for all YAs in their 20s and 30s, starting campus ministry at IUPUC and Ivy Tech for college students, and forming Small Church Communities of young adults with families.    

Our Y.A.M. is still in its "seedling" stage of growth here at St. B's, and it needs YOU to help make it grow, so if you have any ideas or would like to help, please let us know!
