We are listening.
Young Adults are invited to openly engage with the Catholic Church and have an important voice in the direction of our diocese.
During our diocesan synod general assembly and pastoral planning process, we heard a strong desire to better include and support young adults in parish life. Recent studies have shown a steady decline in young adult participation in church activities, with six out of ten teens involved in church activities in high school not continuing to actively practice their faith into early adulthood.
We want to understand this shift by listening to young adults directly. The body of Christ needs the energy, creativity, and talents that Young Adults bring. Already, you are seen as leaders in business, innovation, sports, entertainment, and culture. We want to encourage you to dream also of leading the Church into a bright future.
When and Who
On Saturday, September 21, 2024, over 350 delegates from our parishes, schools, Catholic movements, and organizations will gather to represent the diversity of young adult (18-35) experiences in the Diocese of San José.
They will share their perspectives and experiences with the Catholic Church and provide feedback and direction for the Bishop and the pastoral plan implementation team to consider as the diocese develops a young adult ministerial plan as part of a pastoral plan for the spiritual renewal of our diocese.
