Young Adults

Calling All Young Adult Catholics in the Archdiocese of Boston……



This Fall, all Young Adult groups are encouraged to use the faith-sharing materials for ARISE Together in Christ: In The Footsteps of Christ. The six sessions focus on how Christ calls us to works of charity and justice in our daily lives. The cost is $6.95 per book.

Groups begin to meet the week of October 4th in parishes all around the Archdiocese!

Sign ups will occur in participating parishes the weekend of Sept 12-13, 2009. You may participate even if your parish is not formally involved in ARISE by contacting the Office for Worship and Spiritual Life for details and to order books.




ARISE offers the opportunity for new friendships, stronger

faith, and a deeper relationship with Christ and others

through prayer and the Scriptures in a small-group setting.

Workshop for Young Adults

This workshop is about making St. Mary's more "Young Adult-Responsive." Young adult is defined as the 18-39 year olds. As part of the Arise Together in Christ process, the parishes in the Archdiocese of Boston are getting together for a workshop that addresses this important issue and offers practical approaches.

The workshop features experts and leaders of young adult ministry. Fr. John Cusick is the preeminent expert on young adult ministry. He is best known for founding Theology on Tap, the innovative young adult ministry that meets young adults in bars and restaurants. They listen to speakers and discuss relevant faith topics. It is wildly successful.

The workshops are on:

Monday, April 20, 2009 -- Archdiocesan Pastoral Center

Tuesday, April 21, 2009 -- St. Patrick, Stoneham

Wednesday, April 22, 2009 -- St. Julia, Weston

Thursday, April 23, 2009 -- St. Theresa, West Roxbury

Friday, April 24, 2009 -- St. Theresa, Billerica

Registration 12:30 pm with light lunch and the workshop is from 1:00 pm -- 4:00 pm

I'm thinking of going on April 23rd. Anyone want to go with me?
