ASJP’s mission focuses on enhancing social justice interests and awareness among young adults through the gospel message and collaboration with members of the Marianist Family who strive for justice. We recognize that young adults are oftentimes underserved in parish and faith group settings, yet remain a tremendous resource of experience and leadership for our Marianist future.

Interest in learning more about or joining this justice team?

Every other month, the Adele Social Justice Project Team gathers together for a time of extended prayer and reflection. These gatherings allow individuals to connect and grow spiritually, providing a much needed space for Catholic young adults. You can join our ASJP group below to receive email invitations whenever these prayers are scheduled throughout the year. We hope you'll join us!

Kickin' It Events

The Adele Social Justice Project Team has recently developed a program called Kickin' It, which focuses on creating a space for dialogue for young adults. ASJP piggybacks on other MSJC programs, especially virtual events, and invites anyone present to stay after to dialogue with specific questions produced by ASJP. Two Kickin' It Events have taken place so far after these team events:
  • Immigration and Your Vote Panel facilitated by our Immigrant Justice Issue Team 
  • St. Mary's Law Student Cody Huffman's Experience with Melissa Lucio's Case facilitated by our Death Penalty Abolition and Restorative Justice Issue Team 
Be on the lookout for future Kickin' It events which support our MSJC programs, intentionally bring more young people into conversation, and help people of all ages learn from the voices and gifts of younger Marianists.

Our Current Projects

Inspired by our Marianist foundress, Adele de Batz de Trenquelléon, we engage young adults toward deeper involvement in the Marianist Family, particularly in social justice efforts. Any “young adult” who lives in or is intrigued by the Marianist spirit is welcome to participate in ASJP events. We define a young adult as anyone between 22-39 years of age. ASJP invites recent alumni from University of Dayton, St. Mary’s University, and Chaminade University to join in ASJP events in hopes that new graduates will become familiar with what the Marianist Family has to offer for young adults after college.
