About

"You are the light of the world. A city set on a mountain cannot be hidden.
Nor do they light a lamp and then put it under a bushel basket;
it is set on a lampstand, where it gives light to all in the house.
Just so, your light must shine before others,
that they may see your good deeds and glorify your heavenly Father."
- Matthew 5:14-16

We are a group of Catholic young adults in our 20's and 30's from all over the Archdiocese of Philadelphia joining together for faith, fellowship, and fun! We share in our commitment to the Blessed Sacrament, sanctity of life, and Catholic heritage to foster strong friendships and grow together in unity. Every week we host a Bible Study to examine the readings for the upcoming Sunday, and after that we get together for fellowship at a local restaurant.

Many of us were involved in Catholic Campus Ministry or Newman in college, some of us are recent college grads or still in college, and still others are finding their way back to the Faith after some time. Whatever your background, if you have a desire to grow closer to God with a young adult group your age, we're looking forward to meeting you!

Our History

We are the one of the longest-serving young adult ministries in the Archdiocese of Philadelphia. We were started in 1997 when young adults of the parishes of St. Isaac's and St. Katharine's joined together to become YASKI (Young Adults of St. Katharine's and St. Isaac's) with a vision of ministering to the Catholic young adults of Philadelphia. Today we continue this tradition with weekly bible studies and events throughout the year. What are you waiting for? Show up to one of our events and join the fun!

Our Leadership Structure

YASKI's leadership (often referred to as "Core Team") is not a governing body for the group; rather, it is a group of members chosen by the group to be dedicated to the continual improvement of YASKI. All Coreteam members are considered equals; as St. Paul wrote, we are many parts but all one body. YASKI encourages all of our members to contribute ideas, plan events, and support the group in any way they can. The Core Team members bring all of these ideas and contributions together to form current and future direction for our young adult ministry!
