About Us

Our Lady of Good Counsel STRIVE Young Adult Ministry is a Catholic community for young adults ages 18 to 39 who desire to grow in faith, friendship, and purpose. We exist to help young adults encounter Christ more deeply and live out their faith with confidence in the midst of everyday life.

Strive is a place where you can belong. Through prayer, authentic fellowship, formation, and service, we walk together in our journey toward holiness. Our ministry offers Bible studies, retreats, social gatherings, volunteer opportunities, and conversations about real-life topics such as vocation, relationships, and living faithfully in today's world.

Whether you are strong in your faith, searching for deeper meaning, or simply looking for community, you are welcome here. Our mission is to help young adults grow closer to God, build lasting friendships rooted in Christ, and become the people He is calling them to be.

We meet every Thursday at 7:00 PM in the Parish Center. Come as you are. There is a place for you here!
