Often, those who are old enough to be out of high school (and youth ministry programs) and maybe even college, but who are not yet parents feel like there is no place for them in the church. We hope to be the evidence that this is not true. At Assumption, we believe that young adults are a vital part of the church! Young adult ministry at Assumption is for any parishioner (or anyone, really) who is in their twenties(ish),and who wants to join us for good conversation, spiritual growth, and community with other young Catholics!

      If you are a young adult living in South County (or the surrounding area), join us at Abide! Abide is a young adult ministry that provides a space for young adults to come together, share their Catholic faith and find community. Abide is a regional group, led by the parishes of Assumption, St. Francis of Assisi, St. Margaret Mary Alacoque and Queen of All Saints, but all young adults in their 20s and 30s—single, married, dating, engaged—are welcome to join us!
 
       As a community we will encourage young adults in a life of prayer through Holy Mass, opportunities for confession, and communal prayer. Through our gatherings we hope to educate young adults on the truth, beauty, and goodness of the Catholic faith and form them into missionary disciples, as we are all called to be.
 
       Abide meets every Thursday night from 7-8 p.m. in the St. Margaret Mary Alacoque Parish Center. Throughout the month there will be a variety of activities, including socializing and hearing from guest speakers. You do not have to come every week - simply join us whenever you are available!
