You can be part
of intentional
community
SoCal Catholic is for all young adults 18 and over seeking faith-based community and spiritual growth. We provide resources, events, and fellowship to best serve the community of young adults within the Diocese of Orange and beyond.
Find a Community
Don’t journey life alone! Find a sense of belonging in one of our young adult faith communities. Connect with fellow young people as we deepen our love for Christ, and with whom we can journey the transitions of this moment of our life.
Find an event
The young adult Body of Christ is always inspired and active in OC! Join one of the several experiences in our diocese to strengthen your faith, enliven your spirit, and live out your discipleship. If you are not able to commit to a young adult community, you are always welcome to join us in any of these events!

Benito Medrano
Young Adult Ministry Coordinator
Benito became an altar server at around 10, and since then he’s been involved in different ministries, specially youth and young adult ministry at the parish and diocesan level. Before coming to the Diocese of Orange, he worked for the Office of Formation and Evangelization in the Diocese of Fresno where his parents and most of his siblings live. Benito prefers sci-fi shows, rolled-down windows and loud music in a car, and is getting on the habit of actually reading books, instead of just buying them.
