"Using the greatest game ever played to share the greatest story ever told." ⚾🔥

When you think of a 5-time MLB All-Star and World Series champion, you think of the stats. But for Mike Sweeney, his life is entirely anchored in Christ. As the founder of the Mike and Shara Sweeney Family Foundation, which supports Catholic and pro-life ministries, as well as the San Diego Saints Baseball Club and Catholic Baseball Camps, Mike uses his platform to advance a singular, powerful mission: helping others discover what it means to truly come home to Christ.

In a world that measures worth by worldly success, his life has been defined by a deep commitment to living out authentic Catholic discipleship—a journey that has naturally opened doors to witness to the faith on a global scale, from meeting Pope Benedict XVI in 2006 to receiving a private audience at the Vatican with Pope Leo XIV last year.

Join us for our next Executive Speaker Series featuring Mike Sweeney for an unforgettable night centered on faith, family, and coming home to Christ.

Who: Young adults (ages 20–39)
When: Wednesday, Nov 18, 2026 | 6:30 PM – 9:15 PM
Where: JPCatholic (Creative Arts Complex) — 131 S. Broadway, Escondido, CA
Cost: 100% FREE (Includes dinner & drinks!)

Step away from the ordinary mid-week routine, grab some great food, and plug into a vibrant community of peers. Secure your spot at ycpsandiego.org 🙏✨

What can I do today? 🤔

St. Carlo Acutis was a teenager who loved tech, coding, and computers. He was constantly asking the Lord that exact question. Instead of waiting until he felt older or "more prepared," he used the skills he already had to build a website cataloging Eucharistic miracles.

This year’s YCP National Conference is inviting all of us to ask what we can do right now to take steps toward the saint God is calling us to be. Let’s take a page from St. Carlo’s book and stop waiting for the "right moment" to say yes.

YCP San Diego is building a group to head out to Dallas this spring (April 23–25), and we want you in our squad! ✈️🤠

DM to get all the details and travel with us!
