WHO WE ARE
A vibrant missionary community of Catholic Young Adults dedicated to evangelizing within the Archdiocese of Toronto and beyond. A team of young adults will be recruited, trained and then sent into the Archdiocese to serve young people.
#OCYMISSIONARIES
We welcome applicants who are open to committing 15 months to mission work from June to August of the following year for one of our two missions. A Retreat Missionary or a Campus Missionary.
Giving opportunities to young people to pursue their relationship with God and each other.
MISSION
Our mission is to be connected in pursuit of Christ; connecting hearts one soul at a time and to bring others to an encounter with the risen Lord.
OCY RETREAT MISSIONARIES:
Traveling across the Archdiocese of Toronto and beyond, ministering and connecting to young people in grades 5 - 12 in schools and parishes. Sharing the life-giving message of authentic love, identity, faith, perseverance and hope. Giving opportunities to young people to pursue their relationship with God and each other. Reaching these students during retreats, workshops, conferences and more!
OCY CAMPUS MISSIONARIES:
Campus Missionaries serve as part of a chaplaincy team on University/College campuses; we encounter, mentor and accompany post-secondary students, sharing our faith with a spirit of evangelization.
JOIN THE MISSIONARY FAMILY
Missionaries live by a “CODE OF MISSION” in their pursuit to Christ. The code is meant to strengthen, grow, challenge, connect and deeply bind our relationship with God.
​
THESE PILLARS THAT WE STAND BY ARE:
1. Life of Prayer
2. Living out Love
3. Humility
4. Self-Offering

" Being a missionary has shown me that I can totally abandon myself to God and know that I can “hold fast to the confession of our hope without wavering, for he who has promised is faithful” (Hebrews 10:23). And indeed, He has been beyond faithful, fulfilling the deepest desires of my heart to serve Him."
- Testimonial from Andrea Nicole Carandang, Campus Missionary
