St. John’s Young Adults are pursuing holiness. We are local Catholics, approx. ages 20-40, some married (we bring our children), others single, some entering the Church, others born Catholic. As we live the faith, we find support in our fellowship. We uphold and promote the teachings and traditions of the Catholic Church. We emphasize formation in the faith, and our focus is Christ, especially in the Blessed Sacrament.
