Five ideas for young adults to move closer to Christ this summer

By John Shaughnessy

The Criterion invited Meagan Morrisey, the archdiocese’s director of the Office of Young Adult and College Campus Ministry, to share her ideas to help young adults deepen their relationship with Christ this summer. Here are her ideas:

—“Find pilgrimage sites on your vacations. Look for shrines, adoration chapels and other sites near where you’re traveling and spend an extra half day making a mini pilgrimage.”

—“If you’re knee-deep in wedding season, and you have a lot of weddings you’re invited to or attending, take time to pray intentionally for those getting married.”

—“Schedule time to go to confession.”

—“Pick a spiritual book for your beach read.”

—The Office of Young Adult and College Campus Ministry is also offering several evenings of Theology on Tap this summer. The informal faith gathering of young adults—which “is great to attend if you just moved to the city or have an internship this summer”—features a Catholic speaker, beverages and a food truck.
