Youth and Young Adults
welcome!
Welcome to the Catholic Diocese of Arlington's Young Adult Ministry Program! We are here to support Catholics in their 20's and 30's in their desire to enter more deeply into a relationship with Christ through fellowship and formation in the Catholic Faith. Our Ministry includes: Theology on Tap, support for local parish programs, opportunities for community outreach, prayer, outdoor events, and most of all -- support for you, the young adult, as you journey toward your Eternal Home.
