Anyone know of a parish in Southern Ontario (preferrably GTA) that has an active and vibrant community of 20-somethings?

OR... Any ideas of how to create an environment that will foster an active and vibrant youth and 20-something community?

when i was at the university, there were always groups that were around the first week of campus; if you're in college, try to find out if there's a group you're looking for!

it's hard to find one for me too, being in a mormon dominant state. i'm out of college now, and haven't really reached out to the church i've been attending since my new journey.

i guess good luck to the both of us!

I've been to that site before and the links anywhere close to me are either broken links or the sites haven't been updated in years.
I am done university, and my small town is definitely not a college/university town.

Google the name of your Doicese and find it's website.

From there, contact the office of Young Adults or Youth, for example here is one Dicoese web site:

http://www.romancatholic.kingston.on.ca ... nistry.htm

Kingston Twenties and Thirties
Friday March 25th @ 7:00 p.m.
St. Joseph's Parish Hall
392 Palace Road, Kingston

If nothing exists in your area, perhaps you could start something! Talk to that office at the Diocese, with your pastor, etc.

Maybe Theology on Tap?

I have sent emails to the Youth Ministry link from my diocese website. It's been a couple of months since the last time I tried.
I have heard of Theology on tap, but have not found that around here.
