About Us
Welcome to the Web site for the San Fernando
Pastoral Region Ministry With Young Adults. SFMYA was established in
the hopes of clustering the many young adult ministries of the San
Fernando Pastoral Region of the Archdiocese of Los Angeles. Below, you
will find out a little more about us and perhaps answers to questions
you may have about SFMYA.
Still got questions? E-mail us at youngadults@sfmya.org.
Who we are (our mission statement)
We're here to connect all young adults ---
regardless of their status in the church (married, single, divorced,
unbaptized, etc) --- ages 18 to 39, with Jesus, the Catholic church and
one another, through spiritual, social and service opportunities. Our
events are for you regardless of where you are in your life and your
faith journey!
Frequently asked questions
What does SFMYA base its ministry on? Ministry With Young Adults is Christ-centered.
What do you mean by "young adult?" Men and women between the ages of 18 to 39.
Who are you calling on to participate in SFMYA? We invite all young adults regardless of their standing
in the church, position in their faith journey or marital status
(divorced, single, separated, estranged, widowed, etc.).
Will you hook me up? No.
We are not a singles club.
Why? Because it would
exclude the many young adults who are married, engaged or celibate. We
simply don't want to do that. However, if you do meet someone while
participating in SFMYA, great! But again, that is not the point of
SFMYA.
What is the point of SFMYA? The point of SFMYA is to connect all young adults ---
regardless of their status in the church (married, single, divorced,
unbaptized, etc) --- ages 18-39, with Jesus, the Catholic church and
one another, through spiritual, social and service opportunities.
