St. Cecilia invites young adults (21-35 years old) who have previously participated in our ministry and are interested in diving deeper to be part of our Young Adult Core Team.

Our Core Team is the face of young adult ministry at St. Cecilia and the Beaverton vicariate, assisting in events and helping plan future ones. Our young adult team will also ensure both consistency and variety in the events we offer. Team members may also be asked to help greet or lead discussions in certain settings. Above all, as a part of our Core Team, young adults are given an opportunity to learn what it means not only to be a discple but a disciple maker, how to love and serve God more deeply and meaningfully. Being a part of this team is a way to dive further into one's faith as well as grow closer to other young adults who desire the same thing.

Our tentative time commitment would be 1 meeting per month for prayer/formation/planning, 1 retreat during the year, and 1 year commitment at this point- subject for revision as the team sees fit.

If you are interested, please fill out the form below and e-mail Amanda with your responses to the following questions:

1. What are your specific gifts/talents?
2. Why do you desire to be a part of the Core Team?
3. Where has God worked previously in your life, and where do you feel God is working now?
4. What events have you attended in the past? What are events you have enjoyed and didn't enjoy- and why?
5. Are there any events you would like to see happen? Do you have any goals or desires of young adult ministry in our area?

U.S. Bishops' Prayer for Young Adults

Gracious and Loving God,
Help these young men and women to be a light for all the world to see, 
in all the places they live and work. Let their light shine for all peoples: 
for their families, 
for their church communities, 
for their cultures and societies, 
for the economic and political systems, 
for the whole world. 
Coming into the room where the disciples were gathered after the resurrection, 
"Jesus, your son, said: Peace be with you!" (Jn 20:21). 
Make these men and women bearers of Christ's peace. 
"Blessed are the peacemakers, 
Teach them the meaning of what was said on the mountain: 
for they shall be called sons and daughters of God" (cf. Mt 5:9). 
Send them, Father, as you sent your son:
to free their brothers and sisters from fear and sin. 
We ask this of you, in Christ's name. Amen.
