About Us

Why was it founded?

Many groups involving younger Catholics tend to become polarised and argumentative (in part due to a lack of catechesis), therefore YCA has decided to adopt a positive and charitable ethos based on orthodox Catholic teaching. Our role models are St. John Vianney, the English Martyrs and St. Francis de Salle. Also, it was felt that YCA could provide a more contemplative spirituality than other younger Christian groups around at the moment.

What are the aims of Young Catholic Adults? Its aims are:-

• To foster authentic Catholc teaching and spirituality

• Promote a spirit of charity as practised by the great saints of the Church such as St. John Vianney St. Francis de Sales and the English Martyrs

• It is principally aimed at young adults, but is open to all.

• We aim to promote a spirit of beauty and reverence in the Sacred Liturgy
  

Are YCA faithful to the Magisterium?

YCA are loyal to the Magisterium and faithful to John Paul II's teaching with regard to Ecclesia Dei (1988), which means that we use the Traditional Mass.
