Young Adult Initiative Partner Parishes
During Phase 2 (2022-2026), the Saint Meinrad Young Adult Initiative is partnering with five returning parishes from Phase 1 as well as five sister parishes. Each Phase 1 parish chose a sister parish to join the initiative, and they will serve as a mentor throughout the process.
The Phase 1 parishes were originally selected from 96 applications to the project.
In an age when parishes are being linked and merged and the number of clergy is limited, we must find new ways to strengthen the Church by calling all of its members to more active participation in ministry and evangelization.
