Spiritus Ministries

About Us

The Office of Catholic Youth serves young adults at three different levels: Parish, Region, and Diocese. Here's how we do it:

Parish

We serve parishes through consulting, networking, training, guest-speaking, and resourcing. Have us come and meet with your parish leaders to help develop a personalized plan. We also offer ongoing training and resources in order to have parishes succeed in starting and sustaining ministry for young adults.

Region

Our team works hard to ensure that there are networking opportunities for young adults at all levels, but especially regionally. We've recently launched two regional ministries: Spiritus Via in the East and Spiritus Vitae in the West. This is supplemented with events like our popular Theology on Tap, as well as by collaborating with existing regional young adult ministry groups.

Diocese

Our office recognizes the need to build a strong sense of community with young adults in our Archdiocese. We accomplish this by offering our own conference for young adults: RenewTO. This annual conference takes place each Fall, with the inaugural conference taking place this past October. We also support our University Chaplaincies in retreat planning, and aid in planning of other events including networking opportunities and Adoration events.

Young Adult Small Groups

Launching in 2020

We are looking to build a community of faith-sharing where young adults can journey together, grow together, and take a deep dive into Scripture with one another. If this sounds like something you would be interested in, please click below to register to receive more information.

Mission Trip

IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR AN EXPERIENCE THAT INVOLVES TRAVEL, HARD WORK, COMMUNITY BUILDING, AND FAITH FORMATION, PLEASE CONSIDER JOINING US ON OUR YEARLY YOUNG ADULT MISSION TRIP!

Mission Trip

Since 2018, a small group of young adults travel North-West to the Diocese of Mackenzie-Fort Smith for a week-long mission experience. This year, we are planning on returning to the same location to further our work there.
