Young Catholics 

The Office of Youth, Young Adult, and Pastoral Juvenil Ministry serves the young people of the Diocese of Knoxville. We entrust our ministry to the Sacred Heart of Jesus and Our Lady of Guadalupe.  Our passionate desire is to spread the Gospel entrusted to us by Christ to young Catholics and all people we meet by encountering the living, Lord!  Our hope is to encourage, evangelize and create an atmosphere of light that goes beyond these walls. Small parishes and those who are not connected with a church can find loving hands, feet, and vessels through the Diocesan events, retreats, conferences and moments of encounter with the Lord. Our prayer is for the light of Christ to shine in all hearts, that you may know that they were loved into existence, were made for a purpose and a mission. Our goal is to learn about Christ, yet more importantly, encounter Him through his disciples and spread the Gospel message and mission by becoming a furnace of charity among those in the Kingdon!
