Leadership. Spirituality. Service.

“Contemplative Leaders in Action” is our leadership development program rooted in Ignatian spirituality, for young professionals (age 24-39) from throughout the Detroit area. We are now taking applications through MAY 31, 2023, for our fourth cohort which will begin September, 2023. This cutting-edge Jesuit program virtually networks young adult leaders in 10 major cities across the country, helping them integrate the development of their leadership gifts in their professional life with their faith and spiritual growth, in the context of a supportive peer community. For more information, explore the CLA website: www.contemplativeleaders.org and our Detroit portal.

CLA Detroit is supported in part by a grant from the Catholic Foundation of Michigan.

Sunday Liturgy.  Join other young adults at Mass on Sunday.  Enjoy serving as a Eucharistic Minister, Lector or Welcome Team Member.

Social Gatherings. Our young adults meet several times a month to get to know each other better as a group. Each month, we have outings around the city, a happy hour and a social after Mass.

Celebrating the International Freedom Fest!

We encourage our young adults to join the wider parish community in days of service. In the past we have done projects for Earth Day, our neighborhood children, and worked on an urban farm. Many of our young people also volunteer with our Pope Francis Center for the homeless. Sign up individually or with some friends on their website (scroll down for weekday or Saturday options).
