Young Adult Ministry

Eucharistic Adoration - Monstrance

Young adults, meet Jesus. Jesus, The young adults.

"The eternal Father, in accordance with the utterly gratuitous and mysterious design of his wisdom and goodness, created the whole universe, and chose to raise up men to share in his own divine life- and when they had fallen in Adam, he did not abandon them, but at all times held out to them the means of salvation bestowed in consideration of Christ, the Redeemer..." (Chapter 1: Article 2, Lumen Gentium)

Welcome to the Young Adult Apostolate for the Archdiocese of St. Louis. If you are here you are seeking. If you are seeking, Jesus is pleased (Mt 6: 33)! There are many amazing things going on here in the area. Below you will find a list of groups.  If you have any questions, feel free to email Ron Garcia at rongarcia@archstl.org.

Spirit & Truth

A young adult group focused on gathering around the body of Christ in Eucharistic Adoration.

"But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshippers will worship the Father in Spirit and Truth, for such the Father seeks to worship him" (Jn 4:23).

We live in a world that doesn't seem to want us to slow down and hang out with God, to really get to know him. Society thrives on constant motion and production as the key to peace. Yet, it doesn't seem that those who live this way are truly happy. Wouldn't it be nice to slow down, spend some time in peace and prayer with your peers? Being engaged by the faith of those who are working hard to live it? Want to meet new people your age who seek the same things?

On April 30th, 2009, Spirit & Truth St. Louis, a group especially for those in their 20's and 30's, will begin meeting weekly at Annunciation Parish in Webster Groves. Every Thursday at 7 p.m. young adults will come together for Prayer/Worship, A talk on the Truth, Adoration, and time to hang out with new friends. Questions or comments please Email or call Ron Garcia at rongarcia@archstl.org or 314-633-2512.

The society of St. Vincent De Paul is one of the oldest and largest Catholic lay organizations for serving the needy in the world. members assist the poor through home visitation to offer food, clothing, utility, rent, and job/counseling referral assistance, as well as a listening ear for a few minutes. St. Louis currently has two young adult chapters, comprised of volunteers in their 20's and 30's, offering these services in the Soulard and South Grand areas; they often hold social events as fundraisers.

"NEW SVDP YOUNG ADULT CHAPTER...The Society of St. Vincent De Paul is establishing a new chapter for young adults in the West County area.  The chapter will meet at St. Joseph in Manchester, but conduct monthly home visits to the needy just south of downtown St. Louis.  To find out more about this rewarding and very flexible work, please contact Youth/Young Adult Rep Bryan Kirchoff at (314) 640-4366 or bryankirchoff@att.net."
