A Regional Young Adult Mass for 20s and 30s and all college aged Catholics and friends will be held in Brighton. Mass will be followed by snacks and social time. To RSVP or to sign up to help with the Mass (lector, provide music, serve, etc.), contact Nora at nora.bradbury@dor.org!

Sundays at 11:00 a.m.

St. Thomas More

(Brighton)

Whenever there's Drop-in for Donuts, young adults will meet up for the 11:00 a.m. Mass, grab a donut and coffee, and then have a little conversation in the gathering space with a young adult host. If you'd like to sign up to BE the host, email Nora here. The remaining Drop-in for Donuts dates are: 5/5 & 6/2.

"Don’t get us wrong. Events and programs will certainly be helpful in getting Young Adult Ministry off the ground. But it’s always good to keep in mind that when your Theology-on-Tap or service project is over for the day, the most important thing you can do is follow-up. Young Adult Ministry is relational, and because of that, events and programs are there to support bigger, more long-range goals: namely to bring people together and respond with love to their needs and hopes, to inspire conversion of hearts, to develop strong disciples, and to integrate them into a community of faith."

A weekend with the Hallow community to encounter God through prayer and fellowship.

Franciscan University of Steubenville is incorporating the young adult community into two of their adult conferences this summer! In addition to specific young adult programming, registration for young adults is discounted to just $140. Both weekends will include FOUR Young Adult socials as well as a breakout session speaker just for young adults! At Power and Purpose, the breakout session speaker will be Bishop Joseph Espaillat, Auxiliary Bishop of the Archdiocese of New York. The speaker for Defending the Faith has yet to be determined.

YOUNG ADULT COFFEE AFTER MASS FOR MAY WILL BE ON MAY 5!

The young adult ministry from St. Benedict Parish in Bloomfield/Canandaigua has a monthly Young Adult Coffee After Mass! Coffee After Mass happens every third Sunday of the month following the 9:00 a.m. Mass at St. Mary's Church in Canandaigua. It is a great way to find community with other young adults and dive deeper into what was heard at Mass. Please email DeAnna Brennan here or Mitchell Buck here with any questions.
