National Catholic Young Adult Ministry Association (NCYAMA)
Based in Washington, D.C., NCYAMA supports those who minister to and with single and married people in their late teens, 20s, and 30s. Members develop and promote programs and resources while providing opportunities for networking and communication.
The Catholic Center @ ETSU is a ministry to the Catholic students and faculty of the East Tennessee State University community and anyone wishing to learn about the Roman Catholic faith. The Center community also strives to be a positive and active member of the larger university community.
Busted Halo
Busted Halo is sponsored by the Paulist Fathers and written by and for young adults. Includes discussion boards on various topics.
Whispers in the Loggia
A blog that covers a wide range of Church gossip and news.
Find out more about the “best kept secret of the Catholic faith,” Catholic social teaching, and the Church’s active part in spreading the Gospel and proclaiming justice in the world. Much of this work is carried out by young adults.
Spiritual direction
Jesus said, “Where two or more are gathered in my name, there am I in their midst.” Spiritual direction is a gathering together of two in the name of Jesus—the spiritual director and the directed—to help a person develop a closer relationship with God and to better discern how the Holy Spirit is leading in his or her life.
Spiritual direction is an ongoing relationship between two adults, one of whom is trained and certified to assist the other in discerning God’s presence and activity in his or her life. Several spiritual directors are available to assist young adults in discerning their needs.
If you would like to connect with a priest or religious in our diocese, e-mail Al Forsythe.
