Young Adult Ministry

"There are many opportunities to touch the lives of young adults, and these should be seen as moments for evangelizing outreach. Some of these may require a change in the way we approach evangelization so our outreach is more dynamic, taking the Church into the community where young adults gather rather than waiting for these men and women to come to us."

–  Sons and Daughters of the Light

United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) defines Young Adults as young people ages 18-40 who are single or married, divorced or widowed, and in college, working, unemployed or in the military.

Our Lady of the Snows parishioners ages 18-40 this message goes out to you!  Have you ever gotten the feeling that you are surrounded by your parents, grandparents and sometimes great grandparents? 

Did you know?!? That there are nearly 400 Young Adults in our parish that are registered and active.  Of course there are also many of us who attend mass here and who are not yet registered.  This means we have the numbers, and the newly formed young adult team at Our Lady of the Snows would like you to join us in exploring our needs as a young adult community.  Your ideas, knowledge of resources, experiences, and awareness of challenges are needed as we plan for the future of our ministry. 

OLS Young Adult team which will be presented here to you consists of students, those already in the workforce, professionals, singles, single parent, married couples, interfaith couples and full-on catholic couples.
