20/30s | The Forgotten Sacrament of Marriage

Many young adults are looking to get married. But even those who are engaged often don't fully understand it as one of the seven sacraments. For some, it's just a checkbox on to-do list of life. Fr. Juan Pablo Durán LC discusses 'The Forgotten Sacrament of Marriage: an explanation for young adults looking for love' on what exactly the sacrament is. Presented to the 20/30Somethings ministry at their Discipleship Night, February 13, 2024.

20/30s | Missionary Living

In our often chaotic lives there can seem to be little time for anything else. While many are not called to missionary life, we still admire what they do and there is much we can learn from those who are. Ellie Dodd, a missionary with Damascus Missions, speaks on how to incorporate that missionary life into our own busy day-to-day life. Presented to the 20/30Somethings at their Discipleship night, January 9, 2024.

20/30s | Everyday Holiness

We all strive to be more holy in our daily lives. Often, we are told to do that without any practical steps or advice, and that’s not helpful! Our local seminarian Eric Baylot provides these practical practices we can do to become more holy in our everyday life. Presented at the 20/30Somethings Discipleship Night, November 14, 2023.

20/30s | Why Choose Joy?

20/30s | Relating to Parents as Adults

As we get older, our relationship with our parents naturally changes. While they are still our parents and always will be, there is a different dynamic than when we were younger. Fr Juan Pablo Durán LC explains both the scriptural basis for honoring your parents, even as you get older, and practical ways this can be done. Presented to the 20/30Somethings ministry at their Discipleship Night, September 12, 2023.
