Not just another young adult group
A keynote, a panel, and a room of people who are actually building something — then a direct ministry action.
The formatSan Francisco · Ages 21 to 40
Faith, in action.
Watch the film
A community formed in partnership with the Archdiocese of San Francisco, for Catholics ready to move beyond passive faith.
The community
A monthly gathering forming Catholics who lead with conviction, excellence, and faith in everyday life.
Formed with the Archdiocese
A seven-part monthly series on Catholic Social Teaching, taught by the people who actually do the work.
The recordWe believe in
- Every generation inherits a culture. Few choose to shape it.
- Faith that refuses to stay in one compartment.
- Talk, then action — every evening allied with a ministry.
- Rooms where the conversation is worth having.
- Leadership as service, never as ambition.
We form leaders beyond the lecture.
Every evening pairs a keynote and a panel with a direct ministry action — the talk, then the work.
See the format“I think we’re in a time where a lot of young adults are on fire for their faith, but there’s a disconnect because many don’t know how to unite or move something forward.”
“All of them had drastically different experience, but they all were incredible young adult leaders… they are just humans who are deciding to say yes despite their fear.”
