The mission of our Young Adult Connection at Our Lady of Lourdes is to bring together young adults between the ages of post-high school through age 35ish as we explore how to integrate our faith into our lives…while navigating through life transitions. Our purpose is to reach out to young adults through service, radical hospitality, and unconditional love. Our goal is to not only bring young people together in faith, fun and fellowship….but to be actively engaged in the life of our church and larger community through social justice and mission-based activities. Whether in our education, career, or relationship objectives, we seek to be Real—authentic in our belief that we are here to build the Kingdom of God on earth today; Relevant—involved in the overall mission of our community by loving the God we cannot see by loving the neighbor we can; Relational—engaged with one another and ALL through fun, fellowship and faith-building activities; and Revolutionary, as we believe that the message of Jesus Christ is the greatest revolutionary message of all time and we hope to make that message visible in the way we live our lives.
ALL young adults are welcome to share their spirituality (or lack of), experiences, strengths, and hopes with one another here—where they are also encouraged to actively promote faith opportunities for those who have lost or never experienced a connection to a church community by providing an open forum where young adults can meet regularly and discuss the various issues their age group faces. It is our goal to provide a safe place for spiritual events, educational and social activities, and outreach to the larger community. We intend to invite the entire young adult community into the life and love of Our Lady of Lourdes, where we find ourselves incomplete without their active participation.
