Encounter Young Adult Ministry
Rooted in Old St. Pats mission and vision, Encounter, the Young Adult Ministry, is an inclusive community for young singles and couples! Meet fellow OSP members as we foster connection, grow in faith, deepen relationships, engage in social justice initiatives, and discover new roles in family, work, society and the Catholic Church. Encounter weaves together spirituality, social justice, education, and social events to create one vibrant fabric of community. Details for our ongoing events are listed below.

A team of active Encounter committee members along with Brenda Chávez, the Director of Young Adult Ministry and Neighborhood Engagement, coordinate all activities for this ministry. Along with planning events at the parish, we make it a priority to invite and welcome folks into the community to participate in rich experiences. This ministry also seeks to increase involvement and elevate voices of younger adult OSP members to integrate ideas for growth into the larger parish community.
