YOUNG ADULT FELLOWSHIP - A TACOMA YOUNG ADULT COMMUNITY
With so many of us in our 20s and 30s in the greater Tacoma area, it's time we come together to connect and build a larger community. If you are hungry for meaningful growth alongside others, we desire this, too. Please join us as we grow together and create a vision for what community could mean for us. Never has it been more needed that we band together amidst a chaotic culture with the foundational richness of our Catholic Faith as our pilar. The vision would be to center our time together around the study of the Faith and the spiritual life, service to the broader community, and, most centrally, growing in connection with each other in social gatherings and activities. Prayer will be the core of what moves us forward. Connect with us; you don't have to do it alone, hope to meet you soon! Contact us at youngadultfellowship@saintpats.org with any questions.
