ENCOUNTER​

By encounter, we mean all of the things we do to lead young adults into an encounter with Jesus and to deepen their relationship with Jesus Christ.​

First among these is our communal celebration of the Holy Eucharist at 4pm on Sunday. 

We also foster faith by helping young adults become intimately familiar with the Word of God and by preparing them to engage the fullness of the sacramental and devotional life. 

EQUIP​

By equip, we mean all of the things we do to help young adults better understand their relationship with Jesus Christ and how to live it out the mission of the Gospel, to spread the Good News and God's love.​
