This is an area event geared toward Catholic young adults. Tired of going to church by yourself? Ever feel like you're the only person there over the age of 17 and under 40? Yes, we know how you feel... That's why we, a group of young adults, have started Voice Ministries. Our goal is to "feed" you by introducing you to inspirational people your age so you can socialize, network, than bring that inspiration back to your home parish. There may be people just like you right in or near your home parish, and we want to help you find them.

7:03pm Scripture (Close reading and discussion of today's readings) 8:03pm Mass (You've never seen it like this... and yet you have!) 9:03pm Social (Because Catholics know how to have fun ;-) The location is St. Paul Shrine, 4120 Euclid Ave. Cleveland OH 44103
