Young Adult Ministry

We invite young adults in their 20s and 30s to encounter Christ in each other and in His Church. Wherever you are at in life, we are with you and for you.

Theology on Tap

Join us for our Winter 2023 series in Fort Wayne on Tuesdays, January 24 – February 21

Theology on Tap is a speaker and conversation series for young adults in their 20s & 30s, single and married, to learn more about the Catholic faith, enter into conversation, and make connections between faith and everyday life. Gatherings are hosted in the summer and winter in the Fort Wayne are and in the summer in the South Bend area.

Be a summer missionary in our diocese!

Are you looking to deepen your own spiritual life through serving young people? Join the Summer 2023 Totus Tuus Summer Missionary Team, which is made up of four college-aged missionaries who receive training and travel to six parish sites for week-long summer formation programs with children and youth. Lodging and stipend provided.
