Spiritual Formation and Direction

Young adults want to develop their spiritual life. They speak of this as being the foundation or the rootedness of their lives. It is through this spiritual life that young adults grow in appreciation for the way God works in their lives. Young adults can begin to develop and nourish their spiritual life by:

  • Participating in the sacraments, especially the sacraments of reconciliation, Eucharist, confirmation, and anointing of the sick. (Check your parish bulletin/website for more information).
  • Experiencing and learning different forms of personal and group prayer.
  • Inviting young adults from other faiths to gather together for ecumenical prayer.
  • Forming bible study and reflection groups that are both peer and intergenerational.
  • Participating in diocesan sponsored events that will enrich your faith. (i.e. Spirit & Truth, Theology on Tap)
  • Checking the YAM Groups link to identify and join a Young Adult Group in your area.
  • Attending the annual Diocesan Young Adult Retreat and your local parish young adult retreats.

These links will assist you in your search to deepen your relationship with Christ.
