Young Adult Activities

BG Catholics

Holy Spirit Young Adult Ministry is for people ages 18-39 and engages young adults in spiritual and social activities to encourage continued Catholic formation. Young Adult Ministry is always looking for fun ways to get together with our fellow Catholic young adults and create innovative ways to experience these formative years together.  Keep an eye out for our events including (but no limited to) Scripture Social, Theology on Tap, bible studies, Moms groups, and other programming and activities tailored for people in this life stage. If you would like to participate, please call Allison at 842-7777 or send an email to [email protected]. Check us out on Facebook or join our GroupMe!

Saint Meinrad Seminary and School of Theology was awarded a grant from the Lilly Foundation to help find out why churches across every denomination are losing young people. Specifically, Saint Meinrad’s mission is to respond to the challenge of connecting today’s young adults, ages 23-29, with Catholic parishes. The primary goal is to engage with young adults and design innovative ministries to effectively meet their spiritual needs.  In 2018, Holy Spirit was one of 12 parishes east of the Mississippi to be selected by St. Meinrad. Over the last few years we have been receiving grant funding to facilitate the development of new and innovative strategies, programs, and services to meet the needs of young adults in our area. Much has happened over the last few years and we have been selected as one of FIVE parishes to continue receiving funding from St. Meinrad in the second phase of the grant.
