We have several young adult groups throughout the Diocese. If you are a young adult (18-39) who is new to the Diocese or looking to grow in your faith among like-minded people, this page is for you! Maddie Francisco, our Director of Youth & Young Adult Accompaniment and Campus Ministry, would love to meet you and personally connect you to one of our ministry groups.
