The fruits of Adoremus

Our 2024 Adoremus gathering was a great success. One of its lasting legacies was the launch of a young adult group, which continues to grow and flourish—an inspiring testament to the power of community and faith.

We look forward to welcoming you to Adoremus 2025 as we celebrate, reflect, and journey together in hope.
