    OCEAN STATE YOUNG ADULT
    “Dear young people, my joyful hope is to see you keep running the race before you, outstripping all those who are slow or fearful. Keep running, ‘attracted by the face of Christ, whom we love so much, whom we adore in the Holy Eucharist and acknowledge in the flesh of our suffering brothers and sisters. May the Holy Spirit urge you on as you run this race. The Church needs your momentum, your intuitions, your faith. We need them! And when you arrive where we have not yet reached, have the patience to wait for us.’” 
      • Pope Francis, Christus Vivit
    • The Church's Vision

      The Church desires for young adults to participate in the life of the Church. Saint John Paul II, Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI, and now Pope Francis have all called for a New Evangelization in the Catholic Church. This charge is for all baptized members of the Church to grow deeper in their faith and reach out to others to encourage them to have a relationship with Christ. Young adults, in particular, are invited to use their gifts, vitality, and enthusiasm to build the Kingdom of God, accompanying each other on the journey.

    • Our Vision

      Our prayer is that young adults in their 20's & 30's, single or married, can find an authentic way to connect with Christ, grow in holiness through His Church and His Sacraments, and become strong Catholic men and women of faith in the vocation to which God calls them. As a team, we provide the young adults in our diocese with opportunities to encounter Christ, engage in the Sacraments, enjoy community events, participate in small group discipleship, attend retreats, and volunteer for service days.
