Monthly Young Adult Mass
Last Tuesday of Every Month
October 31st, 7:30PM

IMPORTANT NOTE: for October 31, the Mass will be held at St. Joseph's Church, 582 Hope St., Mountain View.

YA Halloween Mass

Please mark your calendars for Tuesday evening, Oct 31th, at 7:30 and each final Tuesday of every month for our monthly Young Adult Mass. This Mass is offered to and for the young adults of our Deanery (northern grouping of parishes in the Diocese of San Jose which includes Palo Alto, Stanford, Los Altos, and Mountain View), yet is open to any and all young adults from college-age to early 40s. The liturgy is smaller and more intimate, focusing on introductions and a conversational/dialogue homily, followed by fellowship and refreshments.

Afterwards, there will be a Halloween party hosted by the Young Adults of St. Joseph's parish inside Fr. Doyle Hall in the church basement. Come in costume or normal dress, and celebrate Halloween with the Young Adults of Deanery 2!
