Goals of Young
Adults Movement in the Archdiocese of Kingston
1.
To connect and reconnect young adults with Jesus Christ.
The fundamental relationship for the Christian is with Jesus
Christ. Spiritual formation and direction will be employed
to help young adults deepen their relationship with Christ.
Important in this area is the need to help young adults
discern the vocational call that Christ issues to each one.
2.
To connect and reconnect young adults with the Church.
Young adults often feel alienated from the church oftentimes
because they do not experience Church as relevant to their
issues and lives. Efforts will be made to evangelise young
adults; they will be invited to participate in the life of
the Church and special efforts of pastoral care geared
towards young adults will be put in place.
3.
To connect young adults with the mission of the Church in
the world.
Christian faith should issue into loving action towards
others in the world, but especially those who are most in
need. An emphasis will be placed on forming the consciences
of young adults to the deep need that exists in our country
and our world and increase the awareness of our call to
respond to those who are disadvantaged.
4.
To connect young adults with a peer community.
Young adults require increasing support from among their
peers who share similar experiences; they form a support
network that cannot be gainsaid. Young adults are the most
effective ministers to each other and efforts must be made
to form leaders from within the group to take on roles of
leadership and support.
