Catholic Young Adult Groups

Catholic Center for Young Adults
With the goal of realizing a vibrant and centrally located Catholic Center for Young Adults in the heart of the Archdiocese of Philadelphia, we enter upon a weekly Eucharistic fellowship-- building up faith, deepening communion of life, giving increase to our numbers and encouraging personal initiative and charism, both among ourselves and in conjunction with existing young adult faith communities-- and so lay the groundwork for, and advance the establishment of, a genuine hub of renewal in the Archdiocese. For more information, email catholiccenterforyoungadults@gmail.com or find us on Facebook

2105 Young Adults – Our Lady of Lourdes
Our name comes from paragraph 2105 from the Catechism of the Catholic Church: The duty of offering God genuine worship concerns man both individually and socially. This is "the traditional Catholic teaching on the moral duty of individuals and societies toward the true religion and the one Church of Christ." By constantly evangelizing men, the Church works toward enabling them "to infuse the Christian spirit into the mentality and mores, laws and structures of the communities in which [they] live." The social duty of Christians is to respect and awaken in each man the love of the true and the good. It requires them to make known the worship of the one true religion which subsists in the Catholic and apostolic Church. Christians are called to be the light of the world. Thus, the Church shows forth the kingship of Christ over all creation and in particular over human societies.

We gather every Thursday evening at 7:30pm. We have Eucharistic Adoration & Holy Hour. This is followed by a simple meal of fellowship and community with one another. We are convinced that our mission to proclaim the Gospel, to be evangelists for the Church, is sourced in Eucharistic Adoration and devotion to the Blessed Sacrament. From the acts of love and worship we offer Christ, the world will be changed, in cooperation with God's grace.

Meetings: Thursdays, 7:30pm -- in the rectory of Our Lady of Lourdes Church:
