A comprehensive toolkit to create and re-energize Catholic young adult communities.

Most parishes want to reach young adults but don’t know where to start.

Parishes want to engage young adults, but aren’t sure how to begin.

When nothing happens, young adults remain disconnected from parish life, the community loses vital voices, and the Church risks missing out on future generations.

Young Adult Ministry in a Box

We give you a ready-to-use framework to start a thriving young adult ministry — plus regularly published guides, templates, and articles to help sustain it long-term.

“Ministry to young Catholics is crucial in the Church today and Young Adult Ministry in a Box is the most effective resource I’ve seen that helps a local faith community get something started for young adults. It’s a wise investment for any parish or diocese.”

Cardinal Timothy Dolan

Why It Works

Created by Busted Halo and the Paulist Fathers, in collaboration with leaders from the National Institute for Ministry with Young Adults, the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, and ministry leaders who have built young adult programs in dioceses and parishes across the country.
