Welcome to our Young Adult Ministry

Saint John Paul II Parishes Young Adult Ministry is a parish-based community of young adults, who seek to draw closer to Christ and his Church through prayer, friendship, discussion, study, and service. In addition to regular meetings, we come together for a wide range of events: social gatherings, liturgies, service opportunities, athletic events, outdoor trips, retreats, conferences, etc. New members from the parish and beyond are always welcome to join us for any meeting or event. The Saint John Paul II Parish Young Adult Ministry is led by Jonathan Molik. Please call or text 716-381-7386 with any questions or if you would like to learn more. We look forward to meeting you!  "Pray, Hope, & Don't Worry." -Saint Padre Pio
"Dear young people, like the first disciples, follow Jesus! Do not be afraid to draw near to him, to cross the threshold of his dwelling, to speak with him, face to face, as you talk with a friend."

​-Pope Saint John Paul II
