A pastoral plan for young adult ministry H2
In November 1993 the general membership of the National Conference of Catholic Bishops authorized the bishops' Committee on the Laity to develop a national plan for pastoral ministry to and with young adults. The resulting document was "Sons and Daughters of the Light: A Pastoral Plan for Ministry with Young Adults."
We seek to evangelize our young people, train and mentor them in the Catholic way of life and help them to discern how Jesus is calling them to use their God-given gifts for the good of all God's people.

WHO ARE YOUNG ADULTS? H2
"...young adulthood refers to people in their late teens, twenties, and thirties; single , married, divorced, or widowed; and with or without children. They are present in every trade and profession. They live in the many communities that make up our society—from rural areas to small towns to large metropolitan areas. They come from diverse cultural, ethnic, educational, vocational, social, political, and spiritual realities. This diversity is reflected in the large number of people from various nations coming to this country whose median age is in the early to mid-twenties."
