Vision and Mission

The most active and consistent young adult ministry for 20 and 30 somethings in New Jersey for the past ten years, we aim to engage individuals at different stages of faith, from beginner to advanced. The goals of this ministry are to:

• help young adults grow in knowledge of God and faith.
• inspire young adults to faithfully discern their vocation.
• equip young adults to serve, lead, or contribute to a Catholic parish in the near future.

FAQ's

• Is St. Paul's a parish? No, we are an office of the Diocese of Paterson. We therefore do not administer weddings, funerals, or the baptism of infants. We try to do things that parishes do not do.
• Is young adult ministry a good dating scene? A large number of young adult single people have met their future spouses here at St. Paul's, and we are proud of that, but we are not a dating service, and matchmaking is not one of our goals.
• Are older adults allowed to attend? We encourage our young adults (21-39) to invite friends and family to Sunday Mass sporadically, especially for holidays, but our other young adult events are intended exclusively for those in their 20's and 30's.
• Can I rent St. Paul's for an event? We are not an event venue and we do not rent our spaces.
