OFFICE FOR YOUNG PEOPLE

In November 2013, the Catholic Youth Office was renamed the Office for Young People and given a new mandate by Archbishop William Goh to expand its pastoral care to young people aged between 16 (post-confirmation) to 35 years.

We reach out to young people including those in local and overseas universities and tertiary institutions (polytechnics, JC/IB, ITE and private diplomas) and young working adults in non-parish based communities. It is an exciting time for us as we connect with them, discerning new areas and new ways of meeting their needs for ministry and pastoral care, through running retreats, etc as well as journeying and one-on-one ministry. Our hearts' desire is to facilitate their encounter with Jesus Christ, drawing them into greater communion as the Church and harnessing their energy for God's Kingdom.

VISION

The Office for Young People seeks to raise up a generation of young people passionately in love with Jesus and His Church and committed to a lifestyle of discipleship and communion whilst being animated by the Spirit to use their gifts and charisms in the mission of evangelisation.
