Dear Parish Family,

Life in our late teens and twenties is an exciting chapter of profound growth and new horizons. Yet, it can also bring seasons of unexpected grief, anxiety, and challenges. Here at St. Angela Merici, we believe that no one should have to walk these roads alone. Our Young Adults ministry (ages 18–25) is a space to find authentic friendship, deep spiritual nourishment, and the unshakeable peace of Christ.

We are thrilled to invite our young adults to join us for two incredibly special upcoming gatherings:

Navigating Life’s Storms: Our Lady of Sorrows Talk Mary, Our Lady of Sorrows, perfectly understands the pain of watching things fall apart as she stood faithfully by the cross of her Son. In a world filled with uncertainties, her steadfast grace offers us a beautiful model of hope. Join us as our special guest speaker, Deacon Frank, leads a powerful discussion on navigating grief, dealing with anxiety, and finding peace when we feel helpless.
