Young Adult & Campus Ministry

“The Church needs you, your enthusiasm, your creativity and the joy that is so characteristic of you!”

~ Pope Francis

What we do

The vision of the Office of Young Adult Ministry is to connect young adults to Jesus Christ, the Church, the mission of the Church in the world, and our peers. The office hosts social, spiritual and service opportunities for young adults throughout the year, including Theology on Tap, Seven Church Walk, Day of Service, and more.

The office supports more than 25 parish and regional young adult communities across the Archdiocese of Washington. Find a community of young adults near you!
