A casual day for young adults to build community and put their faith into action by serving those in need is the goal of the 2026 Service and Social event planned for June 6.
Hosted by the diocesan Department of Youth and Young Adult Ministries, Service and Social will take place from 9 a.m.-2 p.m. at Vincent’s Legacy, a diocese-wide ministry that collects and distributes furniture donations to families in need. The ministry was developed by Margaret More who grew the concept out of the St. Vincent de Paul conference in her home parish of St. Rose, Belmar.
The day will begin with prayer and sharing. The young adults will then load trucks with furniture and other household items and deliver them to the homes of people in need. Once the items are delivered, the young adults will then pick up donations of new furniture and return to the warehouse to unload them. The day would wrap up with lunch.
Vincent’s Legacy is located at 2201 Marconi Rd., Wall Township.
