St.Michael Catholic Church

"To connect young adults with Jesus Christ, the Church, the mission of the Church in the world, and a peer community in which their faith is nurtured and strengthened." -- the goal of Young Adult Ministry as stated by the USCCB in Sons and Daughters of the Light, their official letter on Young Adult Ministry.

Game Nights -- last Fridays of the month

Game nights are usually held the last Friday of each month. Join us for fun, games and snacks in the Ministry Center Green Room at 7 p.m. We will be doing fun outdoor alternatives (i.e. miniature golf) during the summer. Bring a snack to share!

First Friday Adoration, Mass & Dessert -- Fridays

All SMYAs are encouraged to attend First Friday Benedicition of the Blessed Sacrament at 6:45 p.m. followed by mass at 7 p.m. After mass everyone present is invited to go out for dessert.

Dinner after Mass -- Sundays

The Young Adults go out to dinner following the 5:30 p.m. Sunday night mass, usually on the third Sunday of every month. We meet in the vestibule after mass to carpool to dinner.
