Young Adult

Logo for Pint Glass

Catholic Young Adult ministry is often held in a local pub.  For good reason!  Here is an example of a pub logo you could use for pint glasses, napkins, coasters, etc.

Brand pint glasses and sell them as a fundraiser to raise money or to create an identity for your group.

There are plenty of sites online that will print on-demand for your needs.  Hopefully, I will get the photoshop file up soon, so you can customize this one.

What to do for your next meeting can always cause heartburn.  Instead use these 10 topics as a starter.

10 Simple Topics for Catholic Young Adult Ministry

1. Vocation and Marriage – How to discern God is Not Calling me to Religious Life
2. Work – Finding the Lord’s Will in My Cubical Life
3. Mass Confusion – Shedding Light on Liturgical Confusion
4. Confession – Why I’m to good for Confession
5. Contraception – You can’t always get what you want
6. Cohabitation – How to Find the Perfect Soul Mate
7. Scripture – The Great Adventure Bible Timeline
8. Theology of the Body - Christopher West and the Magical Mystery Tour

10. Dating – How not to get picked up at Young Adult Ministry

As you can see I these are simple topics, because young adult are looking to grow in their faith, or just find themselves.  Also controversial topics spark interest.  I also tried to make up funny tag lines to go against the wave of boredom.

What works for you?

Social Networking, Catholic Style

Ok who needs more ideas for young adult ministry?  Nobody likes a late night planning session, so these should help.  They were influenced by Matthew Pinto.  Yea, I think he does good work.

1. Evolution and Catholics (Did Adam and Eve have Belly Buttons?)
2. Separation of Church and State (What does it really mean?
3. The Occult and the New Age Movement (Can I read my horoscope and stay free from evil forces?)
4. Are you a Mormon?  (When a black tie, white shirt man comes to your door?  Who are they? A Seminarian?)
5. Born Again Over the Weekend (Fundamentalism and Christianity.  The Difference?  What do they believe?)
6. Jehovah’s Witnessess (What and Who are they?)
7. Why Come Back to the Faith (Why be Catholic when I left at age 18?)
8. What do we believe? (Just open the Catechism)
9. Jesus (Who was he? What was his purpose? What does he ask of us?)
10. Is the End of the World Coming (What it means and did I miss it in Y2k?)

Catholic Young Adult Ministry is extremely important to any parish.  If you don’t have one just start with 2 people and grow.  There is so much to talk about.  Start your meetings at a local pub.  Dinner, a beverage, and a small short talk to start discussion.  Maybe even cover the first round.
