"We started a 'Trunk or Treat' at our parish this year, and we had such amazing participation from our young adult demographic. They all brought out their children and in total we had more than 300 kids attend. It went so well, we had to tap in our emergency candy supplies."

"We have social media accounts that are just not that active. I was not really sure who to talk to about getting some help, and, as it turns out, the young adult leadership crew took notice and someone offered to help me run it! They are really taking initiative and offering their talents to help further the ministry, which is awesome to be a part of."

"We hosted our annual food truck fest again this year and had great participation from the parish, including our young adults. We have been excited to integrate young adults in our parish events and ministries, including weekly talks on the sacraments and a fall bonfire where young families joined for fun and fellowship."

"In late October, we gathered for a young adult bonfire. We had a great group come out, and everyone enjoyed spending time together around the fire—talking, laughing, and simply being in community. It was a fun, relaxed evening that reminded us how meaningful it can be just to be together. It’s amazing how something so simple brought so much joy to our young adults—and to me as well."

"Several of our young adults attended a presentation at the diocesan Cathedral, and six went to Saint Meinrad for the Fall Gathering!"

"We welcomed nine individuals into Full Communion with the Catholic Church this past weekend – three of them are young adults."

"The young adults hosted an All Souls' Day rosary walk at the parish cemetery, which was attended by a multigenerational group of almost 25 people."
