Young Catholic Adults (YCA)

About Young Catholic Adults (YCA)

Young Catholic Adults (YCA) is the last pastoral structure dedicated to the youth in the Archdiocese, previously known as Young Adults Catholic Association (YACA). These are the youths who are aged from 27-35 years. It also includes those young people who are below 27 years but married or with children. YCA, unlike other youth groups, are rather independent because it is assumed that they are adults and capable of self-management. However, they are under the guidance of the youth chaplain in the Archdiocese, deanery and parish level.
