Welcome To Ignite!
Ignite is a community for young adults (18-35) at the Church of the Epiphany. We exist to build real friendships, navigate the shared experiences of young adulthood in New York City, and grow in faith alongside one another.
We are a spiritual home for anyone navigating young adulthood in the Catholic faith – lifelong Catholics, people stepping into church for the first time, and everyone in between.

EVERYONE is welcome at CONNECT!
Our weekly CONNECT program is Epiphany’s year-round space to grow in our Catholic faith, in friendship, and service. Together with fellow parishioners, you’ll explore church teaching, theological perspectives, and the rich spiritual traditions of our Catholic heritage.CONNECT brings together three dynamic groups:
IGNITE – Epiphany Young Adults
MILLENN-X – Millennials & Gen-Xers
SEEKERS – Our senior wisdom sisters & brothers
Each evening begins with fellowship around a delicious, free, home-cooked meal. Then, the groups rotate through one of three experiences:
Prayer, faith-sharing, or worship
Faith formation presentations with synodal discussion, led by Fr. Jim Mayzik SJ, Faith Formation Director Samuel Newton, or a guest speaker
Member-led presentations, where participants share their own insights and experiences
At CONNECT you’ll enjoy community, deepen your faith, and open yourself to the surprising ways the Holy Spirit works in our lives.
