Witness is a Catholic young adults group for ages 18-39.
Mission: Witness nurtures the commitment of Catholic young adults to be witnesses of God's love through prayer, fellowship, and action.
Witness has four areas of activity: faith formation, lectio divina/prayer, social, and service.
Centred in Christ and united in our call to holiness, we provide opportunities to deepen and explore the Catholic faith, connect with people who share similar values, and reach out to the surrounding community.
All scheduled activities are posted below. All are welcome to join us!

WITNESS PRAYER
Almighty and ever-living God,
We humbly pray that You make us true witnesses of Your love.
Inspire us by the example of Your only-begotten Son, Jesus Christ.
Teach us to follow His acts of compassion and generosity towards all people.
Never allow us to cease our imitation of Him.
Encourage us towards righteousness in times of temptation and adversity.
Send forth Your Holy Spirit upon us, to always lead and guide us.
Sanctify our mission to be witnesses of the truth, so that all may believe.
Amen.
Mary, Help of Christians, pray for us.
