Upcoming CYA Events

St. Mary of the Lake Catholic Young Adults

St. Mary’s Catholic Young Adults connects young people ages 18-39 to God on a deeper level, connects them to each other, and connects them to the larger community. We do this through variety of opportunities that help young people grow in their Catholic faith and grow in fellowship and community with one another. We serve all post-high school age young adults in all stages of their life; there is a place for you here!

Join us for our sacramental, social, and service opportunities.

Sports Days: A monthly morning of sport for everyone ages 18+ host in the Parish Life Center gym. Exercise your body, build community, and grow closer to God in prayer. Currently, pickleball and basketball are the most popular games of choice, but other games are welcome depending on participants’ interests. Pickleball nets and equipment and basketballs provided.

Upcoming Dates: Sports days take a hiatus for the summer months.

College Summer Series: Oriented toward college age students, this is an opportunity for those who are either home for the summer or living in the area to gather with other college age young adults for a meal, hospitality, fellowship, and some faith based content on a consistent basis throughout the summer. More information coming soon!

Yappy Hour: A series of monthly apps and chats – hors d’oeuvres and conversations with Catholic faith experts and leaders from a variety of professions who will dive deeper into theological topics and share about living their faith in the world, providing practical tips on life to young adults (think everything from financial planning to discerning a vocation). Spring Yappy Hour details coming soon!

Small groups: Small groups are a helpful way to grow in faith and support each other on the discipleship journey.  Form your own or find an existing group to join. Small groups are at the heart of Mission at St Mary’s—join today! Examples of existing small groups for young adults include a monthly meeting for mothers of young children or weekly sessions for women in their 20s or 30s. There are opportunities to join small groups throughout the liturgical year (we usually have small group sessions in Advent, Lent, Easter, Ordinary Time). Groups of 6 to 12 people meet weekly or as defined by the group. Groups can meet either in homes, at the parish, or online/over Zoom. We will help you find a group based on your availability and interests. We invite you to fill out this small group interest form – HERE.

College Student Summer Mission Trip: College students ages 18-21 are invited to join the young adult track of our high school summer mission trip with Catholic Heart Workcamp. Adults ages 21+ are also invited to join as chaperones. Summer 2025, we will be serving in Billings, MT from June 22-29. Learn more here.

*Please note that all adults 18+ attending the mission trip or working with minors must be Safe Environment Certified. Training provided.*

Annual Clothing Swap: Discover how our clothing consumption relates to Catholic Social Teaching and live out the principles of Dignity of the Human Person, Rights and Dignity of Workers, and Care for Creation in a particular way by saying “no” to fast fashion and keeping items out of landfills. Held annually, this event consists of an education night with speakers to learn more on the topic and then helps young adults trade their good condition, gently used clothing items with each other to practice sustainability and ethical fashion at a clothing swap. For a video playback of the 2025 Education Night speakers or to get involved in planning our 2026 event, please email [email protected].


Volunteer & Leadership Opportunities

Your talents are always welcome to help make young adult ministry opportunities possible! Please reach out if you’d like to be involved in one of the following ways or have other ideas:

Young Adult Ministry Event Planning Team: These leaders/planners are tasked with collaborating with the Coordinator of Young Adult Ministries to plan, advertise, and choose the speakers, themes, and programming for young adults, including sports days and monthly formation series. Talents such as advertising, hospitality/hosting, set-up, clean-up, etc. are needed.

Small Group Leaders: Facilitate a small group for a community of peers. Grow in faith alongside others in a similar life situation (i.e. young parents, newly married, in college, etc.). Help select studies, lead discussions, and coordinate logistics such as meeting location and dates.

Clothing Swap Planning Committee: Collaborate with our Care for Creation Ministry to plan, promote, and implement the Clothing Swap and Speaker Series. Now accepting volunteers for 2026!

*We will also need additional volunteers to help with Clothing Swap set up and clean up; please reach out if you would like to be included for this only.
