MODEL LETTER OF INVITATION

St. Bede, Williamsburg
Dear Young Adult:

There has been an increasing demand for a ministry devoted to the needs of young adults in St. Bede parish.  In response to these requests, we are in the process of forming a young adult ministry that will foster a greater relationship among young adults in the parish.  The goal of young adult ministry is to build a community of young adults through faith sharing and fellowship.  This group targets adults in their twenties and thirties, single or married, with or without children, who want to share their Catholic faith with their peers.  This community will provide a forum to share ideas as well as a place to serve others and help each other grow spiritually.  In order for this ministry to begin, we need your suggestions.  Please fill out the enclosed survey and mail or drop it off at the parish office, so that we may accurately assess your needs.  Thank you for your time.  God Bless!
