Who we are

A community within a community.

WITHIN

WITHIN US CO

Young adults 19 to 39

Sts. Peter and Paul Parish

WITHIN is a young adult community at Sts. Peter and Paul Parish, built for people between 19 and 39.

Not a program you sign up for. A community you belong to. We run alongside everything else the parish does, with programming built for the season of life that usually gets skipped: after Confirmation, before whatever comes next.

Belonging comes first. Everything else follows from it.

How the year works

One night a month holds the rest of it together.

Sycamore

Last Tuesday of the month, 6:30 to 9:00 PM. Dinner, real conversation, and the month ahead laid out. If you only ever come to one thing, come to this.

11 ways in

Bible study, apologetics, the collectives, couples, singles, street patrol, salsa, soccer, basketball. Most run monthly. The sports and salsa run weekly.

Trips

A mission week in the Dominican Republic, and a Eurotrip arriving in 2028. The kind of thing that reorders a year.

Questions

The ones people actually ask.

How old do I have to be?

WITHIN is for ages 19 to 39. Two of our groups, the Educators’ and Healthcare Collectives, are open to all ages.

Do I have to register?

Not for Sycamore. Some of the smaller groups and the trips have sign-ups, and we’ll always say so.

Do I have to be Catholic?

No. Come as you are, wherever you’re at. Plenty of people here are still figuring it out.

I don’t know anyone.

Most people didn’t when they started. Sycamore is designed for exactly this. Come, eat, and we’ll take it from there.

Do I have to commit to everything?

No. Come to all of it or one piece of it. There’s no attendance record.

Is this separate from the parish?

No. WITHIN is part of Sts. Peter and Paul Parish. We run alongside everything else the parish does, with programming built for young adults.
