To honor the worldwide Ignatian Year, the Jesuits of New Orleans, along with our five apostolic works, partners, friends, students and alumni in and around the city will celebrate our founder St. Ignatius of Loyola with a special liturgy on his feast day, July 31, at 12 noon, in Holy Name of Jesus Church. If you are in town that Saturday and able, I hope that you will join us. If you're otherwise engaged, please keep the Ignatian Year, Loyola University New Orleans, and the Jesuit mission in which we all share in your prayers.

What is happening at the present moment in our churches and communities related to young adults in their 20s and 30s? How are local parishes, campuses, dioceses, movements, and organizations navigating the post-pandemic re-opening process, the vaccine rollout, and new hybrid models of efforts with young adults? Come and discuss this important topic with other pastoral leaders across the United States, facilitated by the leadership of the USCCB's National Advisory Team on Young Adult Ministry.

This webinar is free and open to all concerned with ministry to young adults.

How do we accompany young adults who work nights, weekends, and other unique schedules?  How can churches best minister with those serving in the military, in medical professions, in emergency services, in restaurant and hospitality industries, and those working multiple jobs, taking evening classes, or whose work extends into the night shift?  When Sunday is a work day or when time and financial constraints prevent young adults from engaging in ministry, how do we best engage, support, and walk alongside them as brothers and sisters?
