Mother Mary's Young Adults

We are a group (ages 19-39) based at St. Mary's Parish, Brampton. The group started back in 2020, as an online ministry. Since then, the group has been meeting in-person. Young adults are part of the Church who are thirsting for community and connection, especially after the covid lock downs. Our mission is to provide a fun, friendly, safe place to learn, grow, and serve the Lord with God being in the center of everything we do.

We meet biweekly, every other weekend (typically Saturday’s). A number of our activities are based around faith studies, discussion/fellowship, speakers, faith building, community socials/outings/recreation.
At times we visit other Catholic faith based events happening outside the parish such as Bible Study, talks, rally’s/retreats, praise & worship, Eucharistic Adoration, and Mass.

In the summer months, we have more outdoor recreational activities such as hikes, outdoor games, picnics, apple farm, horse trail riding, etc... In the winter months, we've done indoor recreational activities such as game nights, paint nights, axe throwing, indoor gaming facilities, bowling, movie nights, snow tubing, team building activities, etc…

These activities have been fruitful in creating Christ-centered friendships. Come join us to connect with others, learn more about the Catholic faith, and practice the faith together in support and unity. If you’re interested in connecting with us, please email stmarys.youngadults@gmail.com
