GCG is where adults ages 18-39 are invited to Gather, Connect, and Grow in our Catholic Faith, meeting 6-8pm on the last Tuesday of each month at St. Nicholas Catholic Church.
This is a time to Gather while enjoying a dinner together, Connect socially with peers, and Grow with faith-based topics and interests relevant to the lives of young adults.
The focus of this group is guided by the input and participation of those attending with the assistance of the St. Nicholas staff and clergy.
Who are Young Adults?
Young adults are persons in their late teens, twenties, and thirties who represent diverse cultural, racial, ethnic, educational, vocational, social, political, and spiritual backgrounds. They are college students, workers, and professionals; they are persons in military service; they are single, married, divorced, or widowed; they are with or without children; they are newcomers in search of a better life.
Why should Young Adults participate with GCG?
Following the guidance of the USCCB, the GCG is an opportunity for ministry with young adults.
The purpose and mission of the group is contained in the name: Gather - Connect - Grow
We GATHER to help young adults develop relationships with peers who share similar values and beliefs which nurture and strengthen their faith, thereby creating communities of support.
We CONNECT by inviting young adults, through healthy relationships, work, and studies, to embrace the mission of Christ to promote the building of the kingdom of God in the world today, thereby bringing about the transformation of society.
We GROW by fostering the personal and communal growth and education of young adults toward a relationship with Jesus Christ leading to Christian maturity, encouraging them to participate in the life and mission of the Christian community, which proclaims Jesus Christ by preaching the Gospel.
