Young Adults

Friday, August 22nd, a group from the SJSP Young Adult Ministry gathered at Golf On the Village Green in Natick to share an evening of fun to end the summer. Mastering the art of mini-golf, the group took in the historic sites- hitting balls through Faneuil Hall and discovering that the curve in the green at hole 16 (the Granary Burying Ground) is no joke! Following a full round of golf, the group headed to Truly’s in Wellesley for a celebratory round of ice cream. 

Keep an eye out for upcoming Young Adult events (open to ages 21-40) and be sure to sign up for our mailing list at sjspwellesley.org/young-adults so that you never miss a gathering!

The SJSP Young Adult community had a beautiful evening for their summer cookout last weekend following the 4:00PM Mass at St. Paul.  Over a dozen young adults, age 21-40, enjoyed a night of grilled goodies and fun lawn games with the priests-in-residence at St. Paul Rectory and our pastor, Fr. Jim. Sister Colleen made sure everyone was well fed with her barbecuing talents and Fathers Gabriel and Lesley learned how to play a game new to them: cornhole!

We also discovered that Fr. Gabriel is an ace at calling his shots and the passing traffic on Washington Street took in the view of a heated match of bocce on the church’s front lawn. Between rounds of catch and paddle ball, everyone delighted in fresh watermelon and a batch of cannoli provided by participants. 

Our next event – a summer outing for mini-golf and ice cream – will be later this month for all Young Adults in the Collaborative!  Keep your eyes peeled for details coming soon and be sure to sign-up for Young Adult Ministry text and e-mail reminders so that you never miss an event!

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!

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…
