Become a Young Adult Friendly Parish

Mike Hayes offers these principles for congregations that want to become more young adult friendly:

  • Young Adult Friendly Parishes DON’T Let Young Adults Be Anonymous
  • Young Adult Friendly Parishes DON’T Ignore the Gifts Young Adults Have To Share
  • Young Adult Friendly Parishes DON’T Bore People
  • Young Adult Friendly Parishes DON’T Make Preparing for Marriage a Chore.
  • Young Adult Friendly Parishes DON’T Just Wish That They Had More Members Who Were Young Adults.
