Young Adult Ministry Happenings
April 10, 2025
SJSP Young Adult Ministry topped off its great Lenten programming with a final Theology at the Table event featuring our pastor, Father Jim! The group enjoyed an evening of conversation and community as they shared a homemade meal at the St. John Rectory-- and even had to extend their usually full table to make room for more seats! The night culminated in a Q&A session where participants asked Fr. Jim about everything from his vocation story and favorite Russian cuisine to his thoughts on young people in the church and how to best share one's faith with others. What a gift to share together! With the Easter season soon upon us, our Young Adult Ministry will be hosting a "Games & Gumbo" Night on Saturday, May 10th at 6:00pm in the St. John Rectory... […]
