"Dear young people, keep running the race before you. The Church needs your momentum, your intuitions, your faith. And when you arrive where we have not yet reached, have the patience to wait for us."

Francis Fellowship

St. Agnes Young Adult Ministry is called the 
FRANCIS FELLOWSHIP at the Ignatian Spiritual Life Center (ISLC).

As young people, we have a special role to play in the Church. We bring an unique perspective on the current experience of the Church and world, offering a true and authentic enthusiasm and energy propelled by the Holy Spirit that feeds the whole community while bringing much needed hope and prayer. The Church is enriched and enlivened by us. 

The ISLC at St. Agnes and the Society of Jesus (the Jesuits) value the unique and integral contribution of young people to the Church. So much so that one of the Jesuits' Universal Apostolic Preferences is "Journeying with Youth: Accompanying Young People in the Creation of a Hope-Filled Future." We are deeply committed to this endeavor through our ministry with the FRANCIS FELLOWSHIP.

Rooted in Jesuit identity and enriched by Ignatian Spirituality, the ISLC is committed to deeply forming and empowering young adults to live out a faith that does justice through fellowship, prayer, reflection, and discussion.

If you have questions or would like to know more, please reach out to the Young Adult Contacts, Noelle Gross and Justin Sun, at YoungAdults@SaintAgnesSF.com.  

​Open to all graduate students and young adults in the San Francisco Bay Area, the FRANCIS FELLOWSHIP seeks to build fellowship and faith among young adults. Join us this year at the ISLC and via Zoom!
