Did you know that faith-full young adults hang out in the Cathedral on some Friday nights?!

That's right -- since September, a small group of YA-types (people aged between 19 and 30) have been getting together at the Cathedral for biweekly 'Friday Night Lights' gatherings. These gatherings comprise food, fun, fellowship and faith in an informal, no-stress environment.

And a few members of the crew will be preparing in early 2024 for a pilgrimage experience in/to Grand Manan Island in May!

For more information about Friday Night Lights and/or the pilgrimage, please contact Kurt Schmidt, the Diocesan Director of Young Adult Formation.

Friday Night Lights, a program for young adults (18-30) is held every other Friday from 6:30-8:30 p.m. Gather together in the Cathedral to enjoy fellowship, prayer, pizza and games. Presented by the Diocese of Fredericton as part of the new Young Adult Formation ministry. Visit our calendar for dates.
