Young Adult Ministry
St. Hedwig's Young Adult Ministry serves Catholics between the ages of 18 and 36.
We are one of the most active young adult communities in the Diocese of Orange, and we regularly meet throughout the year for Bible studies, book clubs, Rosary, and socials.

Summer 2023
It's summertime, and for young adults that means things are just getting started.
Join St. Hedwig Young Adults for The Bible Timeline, a guided journey through salvation history.
Presenter Jeff Cavins will show you how fourteen of the Bible’s narrative books tell the biblical story from beginning to end and will give you the keys to understanding the amazing story woven throughout Scripture.
Most Sundays from 11am-1pm in the Faith Cave (at the end of the Convent), we'll watch a video first and then dive into discussion questions. We will meet for Sessions 1-10 this summer, and Sessions 11-23 in the Fall.

Dear young people, like the first disciples, follow Jesus! Do not be afraid to draw near to him, to cross the threshold of his dwelling, to speak with him, face to face, as you talk with a friend. Do not be afraid of the "new life" he is offering. He himself makes it possible for you to receive that life and practice it, with the help of his grace and the gift of his Spirit.
- Pope St. John Paul II
