Ignited Catholics is the Young Adult Ministry at San José Catholic Church integrating young adults to their faith with study, prayer, and fellowship while growing closer to God.
The ministry works to enrich young adult's spiritual Christian Catholic life by studying scripture, catechizes, and through fellowship. Our goal is to integrate young adults into the Parish, the Diocese and their Faith. We want people to have a personal relationship with God while reaching out to their fellow brothers and sisters. We're also a social group and help each other grow spiritually. You'll find our members committed to building Christian communities throughout South Austin and the surrounding areas.
Our Name
Our ministry name, Ignited Catholics, was inspired by Scripture: "I have come to set the earth on fire, and how I wish it were already blazing!" - Luke 12:49
Our Patron, St. John Paul II
“It is Jesus that you seek when you dream of happiness. He is waiting for you when nothing else you find satisfies you. He is the beauty to which you are so attracted. It is he who provoked you with that thirst for fullness that will not let you settle for compromise.” - St. John Paul II
