NOTE OUR NEW WEB ADDRESS: www.MCYA.us
**************************************************************
Welcome to the Morristown Catholic Young Adults (MCYA) site. We are a group of young adults who are made up of single and married Catholics in their 20’s and 30’s. This is a community of people who are looking to strengthen and develop their relationships with Christ, one another and the wider community.
This ministry has received endorsements from The Catholic Bishops of the United States. In addition to that, Pope Benedict XVI has spoken the following inspirational words in support of this ministry:
“At this moment, we feel as though we were surrounded by the expectations and hopes of millions of young people across the world: at this very minute there are some who are watching, others who are asleep, yet others who are studying or working; some are hoping and some are despairing, some believe and others are not able to believe, some love life and others, instead, are throwing it away.
I would like my words to reach them all: the Pope is close to you, he shares your joys and your pain, and he especially shares in the most intimate hopes that are in your soul. For each one of you he asks the Lord for the gift of a full and happy life, a life filled with meaning, a true life….” Address of His Holiness Benedict XVI, Saturday, 1 September 2007
The MCYA is involved in many events such as:
- Theology on Tap: Our largest event! A relaxed and open event for Catholic young adults and their friends, married and single, in their 20s and30s held at local venues. Enjoy a great speaker, great food and great company.
- Right to Life March: A march for all Americans to free our country from the evils of abortion. This march takes place in Washington, DC annually.
- National and State Young Adult Conferences
- Social gatherings: Game nights, group outings, etc.
