YCP Phoenix

YCP Phoenix offers monthly events to serve the professional and spiritual growth of young adults. St.

Young Catholic Professionals (YCP) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that encourages young adults working in various professions to ‘Work in Witness for Christ. Our target audience is young adults in their 20s and 30s, single and married, of all walks of faith and life, who are seeking personal and professional success. We strive to build up community, increase Catholic identity, and impart a sense of mission. JPII exhorts us “Do not be afraid…to take up the challenge of making Christ known in the modern metropolis.” Your participation will empower us ‘Work in Witness for Christ’ and bring His Light to the world. We're excited to offer YCP to the greater Phoenix area, and welcome all young adults warmly to this incredible community!

Faith isn't only something we profess—it's something we're called to live. 💙

Our Co-Director of Outreach, Paulina Cerros, had the opportunity to represent YCP Phoenix at the Aid to Women Center Gala on September 19.

For more than 40 years, Aid to Women Center has provided compassionate support to women facing unplanned pregnancies, including medical care, counseling, material assistance, prenatal care, and continued support after their babies are born.

We're grateful to see members of our YCP Phoenix community supporting organizations that serve our neighbors with compassion and uphold the dignity of every life.

This is what Working in Witness for Christ can look like beyond the workplace: showing up, building relationships, and supporting work that serves others.

Faith. Spouse. Children. Work.

Everyone agrees on the order. Nobody's calendar does.

If you're in your twenties or thirties building a career, a relationship, and a prayer life at the same time (and quietly suspecting you're running all three at 70%), this night is for you.

Tuesday, Oct 6, two couples will tell you what it actually looked like from the inside.

Dominic and Tiffany Longo started Blue Zone Marketing together in 2020 with five kids at home. Gerry and Karen Frigon have run Taylor Frigon Capital for almost twenty years, work alongside two of their sons, and hit 40 years of marriage this November.

No framework. Just what happened: the season work took over and what it cost, what it's like to go home to your business partner, and what they'd tell you not to do. Then you ask your own questions.

Dinner and drinks are on us.

Tue, Oct 6 · 7:00 PM
All Saints Catholic Newman Center, Tempe
Optional Rosary at 6:30

Free for members. $15 early bird ends Monday, Sept 21, then $25. Only 80 seats, and our last night at the Newman Center sold out.

138 people attended “Money on Mission”, and if the conversation in the room afterward is any indicator, this might be the talk people are still bringing up next month.

Thank you to Deacon Wayne Rich for making it worth clearing the calendar, and to Blessed Sacrament Parish for hosting us.

We don’t say this lightly: this one’s going to be hard to top. But Ryan Ayala and Fr. John Parks are about to try.

ESS “Built to Last”; September 8th, 6–9pm. Get it on your calendar now, before it fills up the way this one did. 🙌

The talks are good. The people are why you come back.

ESS: Built to Last — September 8th, Blessed Sacrament, Scottsdale

This one's about how we are Built to Last, but honestly? It's also about the guy next to you asking how your week actually went.

Register before seats fill. Link in bio.

Freedom is a gift — and so is the vocation to live it well. ✝️🇺🇸
This 4th of July, we're grateful for the freedom to gather, to worship, and to build a community of young Catholic professionals right here in Phoenix.
Grateful for this country. Grateful for this chapter. Grateful for you.
Happy Independence Day, YCP fam.

Drop a 🎆 if you're celebrating with fireworks tonight — or tell us your favorite 4th of July tradition in the comments.
