8 Organizations. 1 Cause. A Stronger Community.
Sharing the Mission: Young Adults and Parish Ambassadors
Young Adults are Champions for Catholic Charities
The Catholic Charities of St. Louis Young Professionals group provides opportunities for
young Catholic adults to fulfill their personal call to service and to spread the Catholic
Charities of St. Louis message and mission to others.
The Young Professionals host a variety of in-person and virtual events:
• Service, awareness, and advocacy activities
• Professional development speakers and mentoring opportunities
• Social gatherings and more
A new Young Professionals membership program will be rolling out soon!
For details, visit ccstl.org/get-involved/young-professionals or follow them on
Facebook (@CCSTLYoungProfessionals). To sign up for e-newsletters and other updates,
or for general questions, email youngprofessionals@ccstl.org.
The Young Professionals Executive Board meets on the first Thursday evening of every
month. To learn more about Board service, email the above address or Brian Thouvenot
at bthouvenot@ccstl.org.
Ambassadors Connect Parishioners with Catholic Charities
Recognizing the importance of engaging Catholics in our mission, Catholic Charities of St.
Louis launched a pilot Parish Ambassadors program in 2019.
As the direct line of communication between Catholic Charities and their respective
parishes, Ambassadors give witness to their own passion for our mission and invite fellow
parishioners to join them in answering Christ’s call to Love our Neighbors.
Thank you to our pilot Ambassador parishes:
• Annunziata
• Cathedral Basilica of St. Louis
• Our Lady of Providence
• St. Alban Roe
• St. Anselm
• St. Clement of Rome
• St. Margaret Mary Alacoque
We recommend having a two or more Ambassadors working together per parish. Ideal
candidates regularly engage in parish life, currently support the CCSTL mission or feel
called to do so, and have a desire to understand and speak about the work of CCSTL.
