Young Adults

On Saturday, May 10, the SJSP Young Adults gathered for an evening of Games & Gumbo at the St. John Rectory.

The group welcomed new members as we bid farewell to our friends the Rackleys, who will be moving away this summer. As a parting gift, the New Orleans-natives treated the group to homemade gumbo and we enjoyed an evening filled with fun games, great joy and lots of camaraderie!

With the Easter season upon us, our Young Adult Ministry will be hosting a “Games & Gumbo”  Night on Saturday, May 10 at 6:00pm in the St. John Rectory.

Young Adults aged 21-40 are invited to join us for an evening of fun and fellowship as we indulge in authentic gumbo and all those sweets you might have given up for Lent! Participants are encouraged to bring a drink, dessert, or game to share, as well as a friend to join in the fun!

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…

Young Adults, aged 21 to 40, are invited to join the SJSP Young Adult Ministry for a Lenten Resolutions program.

As we prepare our hearts for the season of Lent, we’ll enjoy a simple supper and take time for personal and communal reflection on how God is inviting us to deepen our faith and practice during this Lenten season.

To help us plan for the evening, please let us know if you plan to join us…

Love was in the air as young adults from the Collaborative gathered for a Valentine’s Day Cookie Swap on Saturday, February 8th. The group shared homemade cookies and everyone left with an assortment of sweet treats!

Before going to the 5PM Vigil Mass at St. John, participants shared about people (and pets!) who exemplify God’s love in their lives and then they made Valentine cards to let their loved ones know how much they care!

In a world where we are often isolated, is it possible to put community at the center of our lives?  How can we form communities of hope and joy?

Using the Ignatian concept of cura personalis  – care of the whole person – as a starting point, Sr. Colleen Gibson, SSJ, and Br. Matt Wooters, SJ, will join us as we explore more deeply what it means to put hope, joy, and community at the heart of all we do.

This online event is free and open to all ages…

3:30pm on Saturday, February 8 in Powers Hall
(lower level of St. John the Evangelist Church)
Bring a plate of cookies to share and leave with a great assortment!
Followed by the 5:00pm Mass at St. John

RSVP by emailing Sr. Colleen at cgibson@sjspwelleseley.org or by filling out the Mailing List form on our website…
