Legacy Programming from Young Adult Ministry

Young Adult Summer Placement

This placement program provides college-aged young adults (those who have graduated high school up to those who have just graduated from college, or otherwise aged about 18 to 22) with a way to participate in the Viatorian charism, mission, and ministry in a way that fits their interests and passions as well as their summer availability. The goal is to further a young adult’s Viatorian formation via ministry and service experience.

To learn more, check out this one-pager. Young adults who are interested should contact Viatorian Vocation Ministry ASAP (by emailing vocations@viatorians.com) to begin a conversation, ideally by the Easter preceding that summer at the latest. This program remains available on a rolling basis.

For Summer 2020, Amanda Murphy served a six-week stint as Young Adult Summer Coordinator for the Integrity of Creation. Check out her public report here, or review her slideshow presentation here.

Our Foundation: the founding Viatorian Young Adult Board

In 2020-2021, the Viatorians, through the Director of Vocation Ministry, Br. John Eustice, CSV, invited young adults to a board that advised Vocation Ministry. That board was comprised of five young adults:

  • Jean Ang (St. Viator Church, Chicago)
  • Annie Nagle (Saint Viator High School)
  • Ky Guerrero (St. Thomas More Catholic Community)
  • Jason Wilhite (Saint Viator High School)
  • Tyler Harris (Saint Viator High School).
