From 2024 to 2025, the Province of Our Lady of Guadalupe hosted a Franciscan Provincial Synod that brought together the voices of friars, sisters ministry partners and laypeople to help shape the province’s future. At the culminating event in January 2025, the Synod identified eight potential ministerial priorities that were adopted by the Provincial Council. 

In Priority #3, the friars committed to “listening to and accompanying young adults.” In support of this mission, the Provincial Council established the Office of Youth and Young Adult Ministry, embarking on Spirited moment to build a sustainable, Franciscan ecosystem for youth and young adults.
