Young Adult Ministry
To help serve the young adults of the Fargo Area, a team of young adults throughout the area have come together to plan, promote, and execute disciple nights for people in their 20's and 30's. The work that we do and the ministry that we provide is a response to what Pope Benedict called a 'crisis of discipleship in the Church today.'
Catholic Young Adults are leaving the church at alarming rates. We hope that the work that we do will raise up a new generation of missionary disciples who engage in the culture with a "deep ache to spread the Good News" as Pope Francis would say.
