Young adult ministry aims to connect young adults between the ages of 18 and 39 with Jesus Christ and his challenge to live the Gospel. This ministry offers young adults support to live their life based on their Christian faith, where young adults see their search for identity, relationships, work and spiritual life in relation to Christ’s call to holiness, community and service.

PRAYER FOR YOUNG PEOPLE IN VIEW OF THE SYNOD OF BISHOPS 2018

Lord Jesus, in journeying toward the Synod, your Church turns her attention to all the young people of the world. We pray that they might boldly take charge of their lives, aim for the most beautiful and profound things of life and always keep their hearts unencumbered. Accompanied by wise and generous guides, help them respond to the call you make to each of them, to realize a proper plan of life and achieve happiness.

Keep their hearts open to dreaming great dreams and make them concerned for the good of others. Like the Beloved Disciple, may they stand at the foot of the Cross, to receive your Mother as a gift from you. May they be witnesses to your Resurrection and be aware that you are at their side as they joyously proclaim you as Lord.
Amen.
