You:
a young adult (21-39) in the Twin Cities who was baptized Catholic and…
... loves the Church.
... hates the Church.
... feels indifferent about the Church.
… is trying to figure out what to think about the Church.
We wanted to hear
your voice
so that this Archdiocese will hear
our voices.
Thanks to everyone who joined us for a discussion on the state of the Church. You told us us what’s right, what’s wrong, and what we need to be more open about discussing. We're not here to evangelize you. We're here to hear you.
This event was sponsored by YArespond, which is…
​
… not formally affiliated with this Archdiocese.
​
… responsible for the 8 recommendations in the wake of the clergy abuse crises sent to the Archdiocese in 2018, which resulted in a number of responses from the Archbishop and concrete local change.
​
… a group of local Catholic young adults invested in real dialogue and empowering every voice.

What to Expect
This event and the Synod
This event was not affiliated with the Synod currently underway in the Archdiocese of St. Paul and Minneapolis, though its goal, in part, is to gather and hear voices that may not be inclined to attend Synod events so that they may be heard and accounted for. We recommend that participants, in addition, attend one of the Synod listening sessions.
