About St. Casimir's Young Adults
We're a community for young adults of St. Casimir's parish to grow in faith, build lasting friendships, and serve together. Whether you're new to the area, new to the faith, or just looking for people to do life with, you're welcome here.
We gather regularly for a mix of social nights, prayer and worship, service projects, and retreats throughout the year. No matter where you are on your journey, there's a place for you at the table.
where to find us
We meet every Friday at 20:00 in the Youth Center at 156 Roncesvalles Avenue Toronto!
What we're about
Faith
We grow as disciples together, through prayer, worship, and honest conversation about what following Christ actually looks like day to day.
Friendship
Real community, not just an event to attend. Dinners, game nights, and the kind of friendships that outlast any one season of life.
Service
We give of ourselves to our parish and city, because faith that doesn't move outward toward others isn't finished growing yet.
Part of the Oblate family
St. Eugene de Mazenod
St. Casimir's Young Adults is affiliated with the Missionary Oblates of Mary Immaculate (OMI), a Catholic missionary congregation, and is part of the wider Oblate Youth network of parish young-adult and youth groups across the country.
The word “Oblate” comes from the Latin oblatus, meaning “to offer of oneself.” That's the charism we try to live out here: giving our time, our talents, and our attention to the people around us, not just showing up for ourselves. It's a mission with young adults, by young adults, and for young adults.
That charism traces back to St. Eugene de Mazenod, who founded the Oblates in 1816 after giving up a life of comfort to serve the poor, spiritually and materially. His first years as a priest were spent in youth ministry, and that focus on young people has stayed part of the Oblate mission ever since.
“Practice well among yourselves charity, charity, charity.”St. Eugene de Mazenod
