Our Mission
Ephesians 5:8 says, “For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Live as children of light.”
By focusing on guiding the future through a core emphasis on family, children, and career development ILLUMINATE seeks to nurture strong Catholic families who are grounded in faith, committed to discipleship, and dedicated to building a brighter future for the Church and society. Through intentional spiritual formation, supportive community, and missionary outreach, our New Adults become powerful agents of God’s love and transformation in the world.
Our Values
Our values center on the transformative power of Christ, inviting ongoing conversion through prayer and spiritual growth. We embrace our identity as children of light, reflecting God’s love and sharing in Christ’s mission. We live as witnesses of the Gospel, integrating faith into daily life through acts of service and kindness. We build a supportive community through family-friendly events and encourage each other in our journey of faith. As missionary disciples, we are committed to living our Catholic faith authentically and proclaiming the good news through both word and deed.
