Dear Young Adults,

Campus and Young Adult Ministry is important in the Diocese of Richmond because we believe that you are vital and integral members of our faith communities; both on our campuses and in our parishes. We know that at this stage of your life God is forming you as men and women of faith and Christ is calling you to a deeper and more mature relationship with him. Regardless of your state or circumstances - single or married, student, worker, or in transition; we in the Diocese embrace you in Christian fellowship as a member of Christ's mystical body and our faith community.

I recognize that life involves many changes and transitions for you and I encourage you to seek friends and colleagues in your local Catholic parish or Catholic Campus Community. Do not hesitate to tap in to the wisdom and truth of our Catholic faith as you make important life decisions. You can find a Young Adult Catholic community near you by contacting our Diocesan Office of Campus and Young Adult Ministry.

With warmest wishes to you as you pursue your goals in life, I remain

Sincerely yours in Christ,

Bishop of the Diocese of Richmond
