About Us
The mission of the Office of Young Adult Outreach is to connect Catholic young adults to God and to each other by helping you get connected to the young adult communities in the Archdiocese of New York. The Office aims to act as a liaison for new and seasoned New Yorkers, whether you are exploring the faith or have grown up in it, to help you find what you’re looking for. Whether you are looking for a parish or bible study, a job or roommate, opportunities to meet other young professionals, or volunteer for your favorite cause, Young Adult Outreach is an effective guide in your search. Use www.catholicnyc.com to see all that the young adult community has to offer. With a vibrant, diverse, and growing young adult community, the Archdiocese attests to the fact that the Church is young and alive.
