Q. What is Boca Raton Catholic Young Professionals?

Answer: One of Florida’s largest Catholic young adult groups around. The group was developed about 10 years ago by young Catholic parishioners from St. Joan of Arc, St. Vincent’s, Ascension, Our Lady of Lourdes, and St. Jude’s, just like you and me, who desired fellowship with other Catholic parishioners.

Q. Why is such a group necessary?

Answer: The single men and women of today are leading different lives than those of the older generations. They are more likely to hold college degrees and are getting married later in life. The Church offers many opportunities for families, children, youth, college students, and seniors to meet, serve, and grow. However, few such opportunities exist for young adults ages 21-39. The Boca Raton Young Catholic Professionals was formed to serve their needs.

Q. How many members do you have?

Answer: We have approximately 320 members living in Boca Raton, and surrounding cities. Our dances typically draw 70 to 100. However, many of our events offer a smaller, more intimate setting for young Catholics to meet each other, from 9 for a Rosary prayer to 20 for an evening social at a local restaurant.

Q. What type of activities do you plan?

Answer: Dances at church halls, Sunday Mass get-togethers usually with lunch afterwards, volleyball, picnics, rosary circles, retreats, and lots more.

Q. Is there any cost involved?

Answer:  There is no charge to join. However, if you don't have access to email, then it would require us to send you a monthly calendar through traditional mail. We ask for a nominal donation of $10.00 to cover the cost of printing and postage.
