MAGNIFICAT

Young Adult Prayer Group

DHT's proud to bring back a long time project, MAGNIFICAT, to help Catholic youth and young adult leaders come closer to Christ through Mary. MAGNIFICAT was part of a long work of DHT to create a group (whether it be for youth or young adults) that has its devotion, mission and purpose connected to a patron saint or devotional name of a Catholic Church. MAGNIFICAT began its first appearance at the Church of St. Mary's in the Lower East Side. Now, this group is part of the family of DHT.

Like YCNY, MAGNIFICAT caters to young adults who hunger for a personal relationship with Jesus. Most importantly, this relationship begins with an encounter with Mary, our Mother, who will bring us to Jesus.

Like our sister group, YCNY, we use the Sacred Scriptures - reflecting on passages that point to Mary, Sainthood, Vocation, Fellowship, and Spiritual Formation. MAGNIFICAT is not a Bible study group, so if you are looking for one, see YCNY.

MAGNIFICAT's mission and purpose is to help young adults know that God is Magnificent in their lives; that He wants to pour down His graces into our souls, and through our vocation we can give testimony of God's love in our lives. The name “Magnificat” points our young adults to service in the parish life and ministry. Our hopes – that the group will awaken in their hearts vocations to different apostolates, ministries, and life vocations within the Church.

Both mission and purpose are connected to the name “Magnificat”, because it identifies the desire to be with God, the praise we offer to God for His goodness, and to know that we are God’s children.

MAGNIFICAT meets up every last Sunday of the month @ 4:30PM

You do not have to be a member of this group, nor feel as if you have leave your ministry to be a part of DHT. This group is for everyone and anyone looking for prayer, reflection and fellowship. If you are interested in participating in our young adult group e-mail us @ DEFENDERSOFTHEHOLYTRINITY@GMAIL.COM

If you are unable to make it, you are welcome to check out the reflections below. Postings will appear at 7PM (Check the Date). Feel free to share them with your friends and family. May the Most Holy Trinity, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, be with you and your family. Mary, Seat of Wisdom, pray for us!
