"Nothing is more pleasing to God than for us to turn away from all creatures many times throughout the day to withdraw and adore Him present within." ~ Blessed Lawrence Last week, you were challenged to quiet yourself during the day and rest in the presence of God. This week, continue that practice. Stuck in traffic or standing in line at the grocery store? Breathe deeply and let yourself steal a moment to tell God you love Him. Watching a game? Praise God within you when the inning ends or a goal is scored. Practice recognizing God's presence within youit is the first step to a closer relationship with the One who loves you best!

A collaboration between St. Francis Xavier Cathedral and St. John the Evangelist Parish, open to all young adults (18-39) in the diocese. We're hoping to build up a group of young adults that want to gather together to pray, to learn, to serve, to grow, to have fun, and to see what the Lord has in store for their lives. I know what you re thinking: 1.) I don t have time 2.) I don t know anyone 3.) I m not sure what I believe. Well, let s see: 1.) It s hard as young adults to make commitments with our busy schedules, but think how the Lord could work in your life when you give Him another hour or two a week. 2.) Flying solo? Our intention is to foster community and build authentic relationships. So you ll be in the right place! 3.) Not sure where faith fits into your life? We re here to learn and grow together. Come with an open heart and the Lord will work in powerful ways. Stay connected!
