Growing in Faith Together
From the Office of Evangelization and Catechesis
Lenten Season
The season of Lent is an opportunity to renew our relationship with Jesus through prayer, fasting, and almsgiving. The Office of Evangelization & Catechesis has a page dedicated to Lent on their website with resources that you may find helpful in your Lenten journey. The resources use different mediums and are for all stages of young adulthood. To check out these resources, click the button below.
Diocesan Lenten Opportunities
The Catholic Courier has complied an extensive list of opportunities to enter into the season of Lent. The Lenten opportunities cover the different regions of our Diocese and include fish frys, Adoration, Stations of the Cross, bible studies, talks, and much more.

Help for Ukraine
Catholic Relief Services (CRS) and Caritas partners on the ground are spreading across Ukraine and in bordering countries, ready to provide safe shelter, hot meals, hygiene supplies, transport to safe areas, counseling support and more. They cannot do this work without your help. Your donations provide immediate assistance for our Ukrainian sisters and brothers affected by the crisis. To donate, click the button below.
Blessed are the Peacemakers
As part of a Lenten Series on Gospel-based Nonviolence, endorsed by The Young Adult Outreach Office of the Archdiocese of New York, NETWORK Lobby for Catholic Social Justice, and Pax Christi USA, there will be a panel discussion between four Catholics in their 20s, who are involved with social justice and peace causes while at the same time strongly committed to nonviolence.

National Eucharistic Revival
The Bishops of the United States are calling for a three-year grassroots revival of devotion and belief in the Real Presence of Jesus in the Eucharist. They believe that God wants to see a movement of Catholics across the United States, healed, converted, formed, and unified by an encounter with Jesus in the Eucharist—and sent out in mission “for the life of the world.” These three years, which officially begin in June 2022 on the Feast of Corpus Christi, will culminate in the first National Eucharistic Congress in the United States in almost fifty years. Almost a hundred thousand Catholics will join together in Indianapolis for a once-in-a-lifetime pilgrimage toward the “source and summit” of our Catholic faith. For more information about the National Eucharistic Revival, click the button below. More information coming!

The ministry is being spearheaded by young adult and recent Franciscan University graduate Caroline Durand. The ministry provides opportunities for young adults once or twice a month.
