Encounter Young Adult Ministry
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.

Spirit of St. Brigid Pilgrimage
On August 6th-12th 2024, we are taking a group of 20 Young Adults (Ages 21-39) to Ireland in honor of St. Brigid of Kildare's 1500 Anniversary. Every day we will focus on a different theme of St. Brigid including service, social justice, and learning about Ireland's Catholic history. Join us to embark on a journey with other Young Adults from Old St. Pat's, the Chicago land area and connecting with Young Adults in Ireland. We will be fundraising at the Fish Fry.
