A Little Introduction to Our Office
Established in 2013, The Office for Young People (OYP) is a part of the Titular Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Singapore. We are an Archdiocesan office that ministers to young people from 16 to 35 years of age.
Our mission is to raise a generation of young people who are passionately in love with Christ and His Church. A generation who is committed to living a life of discipleship and communion.
The 4 Core Pillars of Our Mission
-
As shown in the life of St. Paul, the Christian life begins with an encounter of the love and mercy of the Word Incarnate. Thus, OYP’s work begins with meeting people where they are, and bringing them to Jesus.
-
Being a disciple of Jesus necessitates the discovery of our unique place in the Body of Christ – His church. OYP emphasises an ecclesial spirituality, and facilitates both individual and corporate expressions of being church.
-
The crucial next step is to respond to Jesus’s invitation to “Come, follow me.” OYP helps young people grow in what it means to follow Jesus, and encourage them to make the changes in their lives required of a disciple of Jesus.
-
The consequence of our communion has to be a united effort to “go and make disciples of all the nations”. Our walk with Jesus culminates in a desire to proclaim the Kerygma. OYP facilitates and empowers young people to partake in the mission of the church.
