A New Generation of Apostles

“I send you out, therefore, on the great mission of evangelizing young men and women who have gone astray in this world like sheep without a shepherd. Be apostles of youth. Invite them to walk with you, to have the same experience of faith, hope, and love; to encounter Jesus so that they may feel truly loved, accepted, able to realize their full potential.”
Pope Benedict XVI, Address to Youth in Brazil, May 10, 2007

Young Adults are vital to the new evangelization. With less than a 1⁄4 of their Catholic contemporaries (20s and 30s) attending mass weekly and millions of young adults around the country with no knowledge of Jesus Christ and His plan for salvation, there is no better time than now to engage faithful young adults in the new evangelization.

Through a number of different activities and services, ChristLife engages young adult Catholics in evangelization; including, podcasting, blogging, the internship program, and, currently, young adult versions of Discovering Christ and Following Christ . Check below in our news and events section for current opportunities to serve the mission of ChristLife as a young adult.

6.12.08 - 7.24.08 - ChristLife and UMBC's Newman Club are co-sponsoring Sharing Christ at UMBC's interfaith center for young adults. This program is designed to equip every Catholic with the practical tools necessary to proclaim the Gospel, draw others into a dynamic personal relationship with Jesus as Lord and Savior, and to invite them to become his disciples as members of the Catholic Church.
ChristLife's young adult project manager, Pete Ascosi, started a group blog helping Catholics to live fully their faith and share it with others. Check it out!
Our young adults staff, Pete and Christy, continue to produce biweekly podcasts - equipping Catholics, especially young adults, to proclaim Jesus Christ to all humanity.
ChristLife engages young adults in mission through our internship program and other volunteer opportunities. Contact Pete if interested at pete@christlife.org
