Several months ago, I was asked to write an article on young adults for the PNCEA’s e-newsletter (The Paulist National Catholic Evangelization Association). Today, the e-newsletter was sent out. When you open the e-newsletter, scroll down to my article titled, “Calling the Next Generation of Catholic Evangelizers”. In it, I talk about the seven hungers young adults experience:
- Hunger to be Noticed
- Hunger to be Supported
- Hunger for Hope
- Hunger for Conversion
- Hunger to Deepen Our Relationship with Christ
- Hunger for Companionship
- Hunger for Full Participation
Do you agree with the hungers I listed?
What do you hunger for?

Becky I agree with all of these! While reading the list, I felt like I connected and hungered for all of them. Some I hunger for more often or have a deeper hunger for, but all I have experienced within the past 4 years especially.
