The future of our Church, and indeed our world, depends on a generation willing to step out of their comfort zones, deepen their relationship with Christ, and pour out His love to a world hungry for hope and encounter. This is where authentic faith meets radical action.
First, we are dedicated to forming young Catholics who, with God’s grace, are the future of the Church. We provide a transformative environment where faith is not just learned, but lived. Through prayer, intellectual formation, community life, and hands-on service, we equip you with the tools to understand your faith deeply, articulate it boldly, and lead with compassion and conviction. This isn’t about simply maintaining the status quo; it’s about raising up a generation ready to breathe new life into the Church and influence culture with the light of Christ.
Second, and inseparable from our formation, is our daily immersion into the heart of human suffering. Every day, our missionaries hit the streets, not to “fix” problems, but to build genuine relationships with the homeless and abandoned. We meet them where they are, offering the tangible love and profound joy of Jesus Christ through simple acts of friendship, listening ears, and compassionate presence. In a world often marked by loneliness and despair, we strive to be a beacon of hope, reminding each person of their inherent dignity and God’s unwavering love for them. These healthy relationships often become the starting point in their path to recovery.
If you’re a young Catholic yearning for more than the ordinary, seeking to connect with Christ in a radical way, and ready to make a real difference in the lives of those suffering the most in the streets, then Christ in the City is your opportunity. Join us as we embrace the epic journey of faith and service, becoming the hands and feet of Christ in the heart of the city.
Serve alongside our missionaries for a week, learning to encounter and bring the mercy of Christ to the poor through street ministry.
Each year, Christ in the City trains hundreds of volunteers using a relational approach to homeless ministry. We have several ways to support you in encountering the poor wherever you live!
Young Adult (Ages 18-28) missionaries live in a household with their peers share a life of community, prayer, service, and simplicity.
