Forming the Catholics of Tomorrow
St. Mary and Sons of Zebedee believe that continuing formation after Confirmation is important for helping youth better understand their Catholic Identity and their relationship with God. Young adulthood is when people begin searching for meaning in their life, asking questions such as “Why are we here?” and “What is our purpose?”
“Young adults are persons in their late teens, twenties, and thirties who represent diverse cultural, racial, ethnic, educational, vocational, social, political, and spiritual backgrounds. They are college students, workers, and professionals; they are persons in military service; they are single, married, divorced, or widowed; they are with or without children; they are newcomers in search of a better life.” (USCCB)
