Is something weighing on you?
Maybe it’s the stress of a job search… sleepless nights… anxiety about the future… or challenges within your family or finances. Maybe you find yourself carrying the weight of the world more than most.

And in the midst of it all, you’re trying to understand where does my Catholic faith fit into this?

Join Young Catholic Professionals Silicon Valley for an evening exploring the intersection of Catholicism and mental health led by Mr. Patrick Murphy, a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) and psychotherapist. Together, we’ll reflect on how faith and professional care can go hand in hand, and why de-stigmatizing these conversations matters.

This will be a safe and respectful space, what is shared here stays here, so you can engage openly and honestly.

Come for an authentic conversation and a community that desires to walk with you.

Last week, YCP Silicon Valley hosted our Crafted with Purpose Resumé Workshop—bringing together faith, community, and professional growth.

A special thank you to our speaker, Elyssa Saldivar, for sharing her insight and practical advice on building a strong resumé and preparing for the next step in our professional journeys.

It was great to see so many of you refining your resumés, asking thoughtful questions, and investing in your future. As we grow professionally, we remember that our identity comes first, being children of God, created in His image.

We hope to see you at the next one!
