Rochester Catholic is an initiative of the Rochester parishes seeking to connect young adults to Christ and His Church. Our website is a landing page for young adults in the area desiring to: find a community of peers, plug into a parish, engage the world through outreach and service, and further commit their lives to Christ.

At the Co-Cathedral, young adults are encouraged to participate in ministry, take leadership initiative, and join in formative activities such as faith studies and attending Eucharistic Adoration. You can check the calendar for upcoming events at the Co-Cathedral!

Looking to get connected? Contact us.

Small Groups are great ways to connect with others in the parish to discuss faith in everyday life and to develop a personal relationship with God. A small group consists of 4 to 10 people who gather on a regular basis to share in fellowship and faith. Small groups are a great opportunity to develop meaningful friendships, ask questions, and learn new ways to pray.

The Co-Cathedral of St. John the Evangelist has several adult groups that meet on a regular basis to grow in faith and community. Contact us to find the group that best fits your interest or if you are interested in leading a group.

The Co-Cathedral of St. John's has several adult Bible studies and Formation Groups that dive deeper into the teachings of the Church. Are you seeking to learn more about scripture and Church teachings? Or do you just want to meet with fellow parishioners? Either way, feel free to join us! We meet virtually and in person to accommodate various needs. Check the calendar for the start of new topics!
