Heritage Grants
for Young Adult Ministry
General Information:
Young Adults in their
20’s & 30’s make up the largest demographic in the Catholic church. These individuals are considerably less
religious than older Catholics. In
response to this crisis of faith the New Evangelization seeks to re-convert the
already baptized through “new methods, ardor and expression”. To assist parishes in these endeavors
the Syracuse Diocesan Office of Youth and Young Adult Ministry is offering
grants to parishes, or groups of parishes, for the 2013-2014 fiscal year.
What:
The Heritage
Committee approved the use of funds to support evangelization efforts to young
adults. Funding, in the amount of
$50,000, has been allocated for grants to parishes, or groups of parishes, that
will provide creative and innovative approaches that focus on evangelization to
young adults ages 18-39 (18 year olds should be post high school). Grants have the potential to be renewed for two additional years (each year will require a new application and approval).
Who:
All parishes of
the Diocese of Syracuse are eligible to apply for Heritage Young Adult Ministry
Grants. Priority will be given to
initiatives that can be replicated in other parishes.
How:
Grant
application forms and budget sheets are available as downloadable documents below. Applications for grants will only be
accepted on these forms and must be submitted electronically to the following
email address:
