52% of all US adults who were raised Catholic have left the Catholic church. For many adults, this departure begins during their young adult years. The city of Grandview Heights and the surrounding Columbus area is home to thousands of young adults who are on the tipping point of either conversion to or departure from our catholic faith. We believe that central to this issue is a lack of community. Our young professional group exists because as Christians, we are made for community: we belong to the Mystical Body of Christ. Our young professional's group lives within the Body of Christ and fulfills a critical need: connecting Catholic young adults so that together they can live with Christ at the center of their lives. 

The mission of the St. Christopher Young Professionals group is to provide an environment for the growth of virtue and holiness among young adults in the Columbus area through Christ-centered relationships. Through frequent participation in the Sacraments, faith formation, service projects, social events, and communal prayer, we are a growing community of intentional disciples spreading the gospel and living in the light of Heaven.
