Today, the Church faces an upside-down age demographic pyramid, meaning most parishioners are older rather than younger.

Creating Catholic Leaders in the Dioceses of Austin, TX through community building, networking, events such as socials, keynote speeches, and panel discussions, spiritual & professional development, service projects, retreats, mentorship, and more. Young Catholic Professionals (YCP) is creating future Catholic leaders—business owners, lawyers, engineers, doctors, teachers, software developers, politicians, philanthropists, clergy, sons, daughters, mothers, fathers, spouses, neighbors—the whole lot. Based on this trend, the Church will grow poorer in the coming decades. A poorer Church becomes a weaker Church: fewer clergy, fewer well-educated workers, and less community involvement and programming to share the peace and joy found in Sacred Scripture and Tradition—truths that have shaped so many of us into who we are today. To meet this challenge, the organization helps form young Catholic professionals in all aspects of life—physical, mental, financial, emotional, and spiritual—so they can better serve others and spread God’s Word, peace, and joy. This mission is accomplished through community building, networking, events such as socials, keynote speeches, and panel discussions, spiritual development, professional development, service projects, retreats, mentorship, and more.

How do we live our faith in a world that doesn’t always make it easy?

As you know, we had to cancel our service project this weekend. We apologize for the change and will get another service opportunity on the calendar as soon as possible.

To still spend some time together in fellowship, we'll be meeting at Mozart's Coffee (3825 Lake Austin Blvd, Austin, TX 78703 ) from 9:00–11:00 AM. Feel free to stop by, hang out, and grab a cup of coffee or tea.

Look for the YCP Austin table toppers and the Young Catholic Professionals walking around. We hope to see you there!

We have been THRILLED with everyone’s interest to come and serve our community!

As much as we were looking forward to serving with you this month, our Mobile Loaves & Fishes service project has been postponed.

Scripture reminds us that while we make our plans, we are ultimately called to trust the Lord with them.

We’re making a few changes to this month’s schedule, so keep an eye on our socials and your email for updates. We’re excited to share what’s next and hope you’ll join us!

Some of the best conversations happen when you’re working toward a shared purpose.

This service project is more than a volunteer opportunity, it’s a chance to meet other young Catholic professionals, grow in friendship, and spend your Saturday doing something that matters.

Come ready to serve. Leave encouraged.
