A day designed just for Catholic young adults in Northwest Indiana!
Pray ˇ Learn ˇ Have your voice heard ˇ Sing! ˇ Celebrate ˇ Socialize ˇ Bring faith into your world, and your world into your faith ˇ Meet others ˇ
Build the Kingdom of God, right here in the Region!

 

The time is NOW for Catholic young adults. Time to send a message loud and clear to the rest of the Church: we are a new generation of Church leaders and worshippers. A generation that needs and lives Christ. Life is challenging, but we are proud to be Catholic and need Christ and the Church in our lives more than ever before!

Led in music and message by Jorgé Rivera, a young adult ministry director in the Archdiocese of Chicago and a recording artist with World Library Publications, and including a Mass with Bishop Melczek, young adults in Northwest Indiana have a chance to be part of something special: the first-ever Generation Christ: Symposium for Catholic Young Adults. Young adults will pray together, vision together, and at the end of the day also have a time to socialize with one another.

Through talks, prayer, and processing, we will explore topics unique to each of these sub-groups of young adults:

ˇ Single young adults in their 20's & 30's
ˇ Married young adults in their 20's & 30's
ˇ College-aged young adults

At Mass, each sub-group will present a report to Bishop Melczek, and that report will also be made available after the event to all Church leaders throughout the Diocese of Gary.

Parish leaders, we hear often, "We wish we could better connect with young adults." This could be the start of doing just that! We hope each parish sends at least two young adult representatives to this event.
