YMA (20s & 30s)
Contact: Delis Alejandro, or (310) 566-1530
Young Ministering Adults (YMA), the fellowship group for parishioners in their 20s and 30s, provides spiritual, educational, and social activities and programs that support young adults as they discover new roles in family, work, society, and the Catholic Church. Join us for fellowship and fun!
A team of young adults and a staff coordinator lead the ministry. Along with activities at the parish, the YMA core team makes it a priority to invite and welcome young adults to the community and to provide information to its leaders and participants. The ministry also seeks to improve the involvement, participation, and integration of young adults in the parish and advocates for the concerns of young adults today.

Vespers
Returning Soon!
Traditionally, vespers is a service of evening prayer in the Divine Office of the Western Christian Church. St. Monica YMA Vespers is an opportunity for young adults in their 20’s and 30’s to nurture their spirituality. Every week they share prayer, scripture reading, and discussion of topics relevant to the spiritual life of Catholic young adults. Join us promptly at 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday evenings in the Grand Pavilion or on Zoom. We invite all to sign up on Zoom whether you plan to be in person or online.
