Looking for a community with a professional focus grounded in Catholic values? Your 20s and 30s can be a confusing and lonely time, but they don't have to be. Come and see.
Attend a YCP event and join like-minded, mission-driven peers to find God in all things and seek excellence and joy in every area of your life.
YCP brings together young workers and seasoned business professionals in a variety of programs to foster Catholic identity, encourage community, and inspire action.
St. Joseph Saturdays are retreats open to the public that encourage young professionals to "look upon work with the eyes of faith" and see God's presence in their vocations and professional lives. Retreats include time for guided reflections, group discussion, confession, and Mass. They especially encourage reflection on the life of our YCP patron, St. Joseph the Worker, and the St. Joseph prayer we recite as a YCP community at the end of each event.
We will have Zach Morris (Boston College) speaking and Ephphatha Music leading worship. Our chaplains, Dominican priest Father Leo and Sister Lucie, will be serving us. Mass, confessions, and adoration are all included. The beauty of The Church is alive and well!
