"For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them" -Matthew 18:20

Welcome to the St. Dominic's Young Adults!  As a community of Catholic adults in their 20s and 30s, we strive to bring single and married young adults together to grow in faith and friendship through a variety of educational, spiritual, social, and service events.  We've been around since 1989 and currently have over 400 active young adults in our community. 

Check out our calendar for upcoming events.  The best way to stay informed of all our activities, though, is by signing up for our weekly email. We're even on Facebook! And if you have any questions, don't hesitate to contact us at youngadults@stdominics.org.

Education

The core activity for the Young Adults is our weekly Wednesday night meeting held at 7:30 in the Parish Hall (map) unless otherwise noted.  Meetings primarily are educational in nature and meant to help young adults better understand some aspect of the Catholic faith.  We draw speakers from within the young adult community and the parish, the Dominican community, as well as bring in outside speakers.  All are welcome, and if you are attending your first meeting, let the greeters know, so they can get to know you and introduce you to others!

Social Events

We plan a variety of social events and activities that offer opportunities for fun and fellowship throughout the year. Social activities include monthly happy hours, dinners, and  hikes, wine and cheese socials, our annual Yosemite camping trip, ice cream socials, pub trivia, monthly dinners, and more! Subscribe to our weekly email or visit our calendar to know what's coming up next!

Spirituality

The last Wednesday evening of each month is normally reserved for a special Young Adults Mass in the church (though you should always check the calendar in case we have to move things around). Many of us also attend Mass on Sundays at 5:30 pm and mingle afterwards to the left of the pulpit. If you are new to Saint Dominic's and happen to be at that Mass come say hi!

For those who want to grow their prayer life, several of us gather at 7 pm before the Wednesday meeting and pray the Rosary in the beautiful Lady Chapel (to the right of the main altar).  If you need help getting started, we have loaner beads and instructions, too! Learn more about the rosary.

Service Opportunities

We are always looking for new opportunities for serving others in the community.  Currently, several of us are volunteering serving lunch to seniors the first Sunday each month (check the calendar for details). If you have any ideas for service opportunities, please contact us at youngadults@stdominics.org.
