Saint Edward the Confessor Parish/Holy Trinity (Sherman)
St. Ed’s Young Adult Ministry is guided by three principles of mission:
1. To enlighten one’s faith with charity and hope.
2. To empower the future of the Church with the spiritual tools of the past and present.
3. To engage the hearts of all Catholic young adults in search of faith and community.
Bound by this mission, her members create opportunities for social and most importantly spiritual growth within the community.
St. Ed’s Young Adult Ministry provides monthly social events, such as BBQs, karaoke nights, holiday parties, and theme nights that spark interest in our community. From here, her leaders know this is only the start, and desiring a build for deeper community, extends themselves through spiritual invitations to join Bible studies, Adoration, and community Masses. Faith does not stop in the Church nor at an event, but is woven within the hearts of St. Ed’s Young Adult leaders and their mission to find those who desire those same principles of mission in this way.
You’re invited to connect with us through our website, https://stedsyoungadults.webnode.page/. Here, you can find our social media pages and Flocknote to stay up-to-date on all things St. Ed’s Young Adult Ministry related.

This group is for Young Adults who desire to grow in their Catholic faith and who are seeking connection
Young Adults who are looking to link their everyday challenges with solutions that have been given to us through the teachings of our Lord.
Founded a couple of years ago after Msgr. Walter heard from some of our young adults who were working hard – many commuters – who didn’t have a lot of free time, but who really wanted a deeper relationship with their faith and their peers. “So I invited them to 12 noon Mass on the first weekend of every month, lunch at a diner afterward – just to chat, and catch up on their thoughts and needs. I was interested to hear how this group believes strongly in inclusivity, has a great affection for Pope Francis, an interest in understanding scripture, service relief missions, and connecting with their peers.”
