Upcoming Young Adults Ministry Programs:

Mission: Anchored in the Catholic faith, Young Adult Ministry (YAM) identifies spiritual, service, and fellowship opportunities for young adults (18-40) to strengthen their faith. YAM provides apostolic ministry at the service of others and is a welcoming community for Holy Name Cathedral for all to encounter Jesus Christ. 

Staff Liaison: Fr. Ton Nguyen

Young Adult Ministry Leader: Chris Prebil

Growing up and growing closer to God doesn’t always occur at the same pace. Young Adulthood is a stage in our life when we grow older and journey towards independence from when our parents dragged us to Church. We find ourselves living on our own and wrestling with God’s purpose for our lives. The unfortunate truth is often, we have looked outside the Church and outside our relationship with God to answer those questions. After a life lesson or two, His call back to Him eventually becomes loud enough, and we find ourselves back in a church pew listening and inviting him back into our hearts. If that story sounds familiar, you’re not alone, and a Young Adult community at HNC surrounds you on the same journey toward building a relationship with Jesus.

We believe the purpose we search for is found solely and entirely in that relationship with God. Jesus calls on us to participate in the work he started two thousand years ago. His Ministry in the Gospels is that work we are following. “Anchored in the Catholic Faith, the Young Adults Ministry identifies Spiritual, Service, and Fellowship opportunities for young adults to strengthen their faith, to provide apostolic ministry for those of the community, and be a welcoming community for HNC to encounter Jesus Christ.”

We hope you feel personally invited to ALL our Young Adult Ministry events. The last thing Jesus prayed for the night before his crucifixion was for unity among His believers. Jesus asked that we may be one just as He and the Father are one. He desired his disciples to be unified in their faith and love for one another. Participating in HNC’s Young Adult Ministry is a step in that direction.

Young Adult Small Groups – Frassati II – Will resume on October 5, 2024

What is the Frassati Small Group? Inspired by Blessed Pier Giorgio Frassati, the Frassati Small Group is a fellowship of young adults who desire to live a life of holiness, in imitation of Our Lord Jesus Christ, within our modern era. Forming a small group will create opportunities for members to deepen their faith via sharing spiritual conversation, forming good disciplines, and developing authentic friendship.
