LOYAL / Young Adult Ministry

If you’ve struggled to read the Bible, this podcast is for you.

Ascension’s Bible in a Year Podcast, hosted by Fr. Mike Schmitz, guides Catholics through the Bible in 365 daily episodes.  

Each 20-25 minute episode includes:

• two to three scripture readings 
• a reflection from Fr. Mike Schmitz
• and guided prayer to help you hear God’s voice in his Word.

Unlike any other Bible podcast, Ascension’s Bible in a Year Podcast for Catholics follows a reading plan inspired by the Great Adventure Bible Timeline®  learning system, a groundbreaking approach to understanding Salvation History developed by renowned Catholic Bible teacher Jeff Cavins.

Tune in and live your daily life through the lens of God’s word!

The term "young adult" can refer to a variety of different people in several states of life.  Most often, young adults are men and women between the ages of 20-35.  Young adults might find themselves in the midst of transition - perhaps they are recent college graduates, or newly weds, or currently discerning their vocation in life (holy matrimony, priesthood, or religious life.)  Regardless, the St. Andrew's LOYAL (young adult ministry) is here to help support you and encourage you to live out your Catholic identity with boldness and conviction by fostering a community of likeminded peers rooted in faith in Jesus Christ!

LOYAL meets in the St. Andrew's social hall every 2nd and 4th Monday of the month at 6:30pm for prayer, a talk, and catechesis, usually followed by dinner together for those interested.
