U.S. Bishops' Prayer 
                    for Young Adults

Gracious and Loving God,
Help these young men and women to be a light 

for all the world to see, 
in all the places they live and work. Let their light shine for all peoples: 
for their families, 
for their church communities, 
for their cultures and societies, 
for the economic and political systems, 
for the whole world. 
Coming into the room where the disciples were gathered after the resurrection, 
"Jesus, your son, said: Peace be with you!" (Jn 20:21). 
Make these men and women bearers 

of Christ's peace. 
"Blessed are the peacemakers, 
Teach them the meaning of what was said 

on the mountain: 
for they shall be called sons and daughters of God" (cf. Mt 5:9). 
Send them, Father, as you sent your son:
to free their brothers and sisters from fear and sin. 
We ask this of you, in Christ's name. 

Amen.

Adapted from the Papal Homily for WYD 1995, Manila

​PRAYER FOR WORK AS 
A PLACE OF HOLINESS

O God, it is hard for me
to think of my workplace as holy.

There is so much about my job that seems removed from the highest
and best of heaven and earth.

The thought that my work has anything to do
with your work of creation does not come easily.

Yet your hand in the world is a creative hand,
providing ever new forms of 
usefulness and beauty.

I don't often think of my work as 
redemptive either,
but I trust that you can use what my 
co-workers and
I do to change the world for the better.

So, God, thank you for calling me to this job
as a vocation to carry on 
your divine plan for this world.

Help me to serve you today in holiness. 
Amen.

{from the book On-the-Job Prayers: 101 Reflections and Prayers for Christians in Every Occupation by William David Thompson, ACTA Publications, 2006.}

GOALS OF MINISTRY WITH YOUNG ADULTS

Sons and Daughters of the Light: A Pastoral Plan for Ministry with Young Adults

ND Young Adult Conference
​(ages 22 - 30s)

@ University of Notre Dame
Typically late June -  early July
Vision YA runs from 5pm on Monday  to 12:30pm on Friday.
​
The registration fee covers all meals and program sessions, and lodging is provided to the participants free of charge. In between introductory and summary sessions on the first and last days, respectively, the three full days of Vision YA (Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday) offer two sessions each day on topics like: Relationships and Community,  Parish Life,  Works of Mercy, and Lifelong Discernment.  Prayer will structure each day, with opportunities for communal and individual prayer in both liturgical and devotional settings. Finally, the schedule will afford ample down-time for participants to rest, reflect, and socialize.

Many young adults walk or run in the annual PANERATHON in Youngstown to raise funds to help treat, educate and find a cure for Breast Cancer.
Advent Online Retreat available

Take some time to better prepare your heart for Christmas by retreating from ordinary life and the busyness of shopping, wrapping, cooking, running around to see friends and family, etc.

Networking Meeting for Leaders of Young Adult Ministries
TBA
Winter 2021

@ the Diocesan Offices (if possible)
Main Conference room on the 1st floor.
(Parking in the visitor lot at the corner of
​Elm and Rayen)


A time for those leading young adult ministries around the diocese to gather to share what we have going on for 20- and 30-somethings around the diocese, discuss possible ways to collaborate and cross-promote events, and, in some cases, to just have the chance to meet each other!

Please bring with you fliers/brochures for any activities for which you would like to share as well as your favorite resource for ministry with young adults. RSVP to Cindee, ccase@youngstowndiocese.org  or (330) 744-8451, ext. 280.
