Episode 3: A Young Adult’s Journey

Synopsis:

Meet Sarah Hirschfeldt Schmidt. Newly married. A native of Spanish Fort. First really evangelized by a Methodist Youth Group. Revived in her sense of being “Catholic” by a summer working with Capuchin Friars of the Renewal in the Bronx. Enlightened about what a “godly man” is by her father and her fiancé. Still trying to figure out her role in a parish. Join us as she takes us along her faith journey as a young adult in our pews.

Dig In Further:

So many young people like Sarah grow up unaware of the Real Presence of Jesus in the Eucharist. How can we better introduce our young people to have a real relationship with Jesus in the Eucharist?

Fathers, what kind of guy do you want your daughters to marry? What kind of faith would you like him to have? Work ethic? Character? Are you modeling those qualities? If not, how can you take the first step toward being the “St. Joseph”…that godly example in her life?

Young adults often are not sure where to plug into the life of a parish. How can we welcome our young adults into the lives of our parishes? Can we intentionally create spaces for them to gather, engage and plug into parish life?
