Looking to get more involved in service but do not know where to start? Check out our OMYA Service Zoom Webinar, hosted by OMYA and Christ in the City

Are you interested in getting more involved in service? Do you want your young adult ministry to be more engaged in works of charity & justice but do not know how?

Check our our Webinar “How do I Engage my Young Adult Community in Service?” You will learn best practices for working with service partners, relational ministry, and engaging your young adult group members.

We live in a society distraught by suffering and brokenness. There is a great need in our communities for charity and justice in conjunction with a great ache in the hearts of young adults to be of service and contribute to the common good, a cause greater than themselves. “Social engagement and direct contact with the poor remain fundamental ways of finding or deepening one’s faith and the discernment of one’s vocation.” (Christus Vivet, no. 170) 

It is the call of each of us to live as missionaries in this present age. “This missionary vocation thus has to do with service. For our life on earth reaches full stature when it becomes an offering.” (Christus Vivit) Christ has called each out us to go out as missionary disciples in service to our communities. How will you respond?
